πŸ’™πŸ’› Learning skills beyond the track!

Today, some of our PCA coaches and age managers swapped their athletics equipment for first aid training!

A huge thank you to First Aid for generously providing today's course as part of their sponsorship of our club.

Our coaches and age managers play an important role in supporting our athletes each week, and having the knowledge and confidence to respond when first aid is needed is an important part of creating a safe and supportive club environment.

A special thank you to Zeb, who shared his time, knowledge and expertise to help our coaches and age managers develop these important skills.

And well done to everyone who took part in today's training! πŸ‘

πŸŽ‰ Weekly Volunteer Raffle

To thank our volunteers, we’ll be holding a raffle draw at 8pm each Friday night, with canteen vouchers and vouchers from Northern Districts Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic up for grabs!

To go in the draw, you need to actively volunteer that nightβ€”helping with an age group in a purple vest, operating the computer, starting races, setting up, or supporting the canteen or BBQ.

As pack-up happens after the draw, pack-up volunteers will go into the following week’s draw.

Thanks for helping make our Friday nights happen! πŸ’œ

🌧️ Another great Friday night at Barton Park! πŸ’™πŸ’›

The rain held off for most of the night, but when it finally arrived, our athletes kept going! πŸ‘

Well done to everyone who competed and persevered through the wet finish β€” plenty of smiles, effort and great athletics on display.

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers and helpers who make our Friday nights possible β€” from helping with age groups and events on the track, to the canteen and BBQ, plus everyone who pitched in with set-up and pack-up (especially in the rain!).

It really does take a team to make Friday nights happen. πŸ’™πŸ’›

See you back at Barton Park next Friday! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

πŸ’‘ Did you know? You don’t need to know anything about athletics to help on a Friday night!

For many parents, the first thought when asked to help with an event is, β€œBut I don’t know what I’m doing!” And that’s completely fine.

Most of our Friday-night roles are simple to learn, and there are experienced parents, Age Managers and officials around to show you what to do.

You might find yourself raking a long jump pit, measuring a throw, helping organise athletes or recording results β€” and before long, you’ll be the experienced parent showing someone else!

Parents are an important part of making our Friday nights happen, so when your Age Manager asks for a hand, give it a go. You don’t need experience β€” just a willingness to help. πŸ’™πŸ’›

What was your favourite part of last night?

We had the straight hurdles out for the 1st time of the season. Thanks to our committee members and helpers for making that possible.

Jenny ran her walks clinic and it was our younger age groups 1st chance to try race walking.
Did your child like this event? Or perhaps you did it as a child?

Again a massive thank you to our purple vest helpers πŸ’œ and our age managers for taking the kids around to their events.

We hope you had a great night!
