Officials - Level 1 Walks Course - Auckland

Become an Official

Athletics is a dynamic sport that thrives on the contributions of individuals from various roles, including athletes, coaches, administrators (at the club, centre, and national levels), and officials. As an official, you'll play a vital role in helping athletes perform at their best and achieve their dreams.

Officiating at athletics competitions is both flexible and enjoyable. You can choose to attend as many or as few events as your schedule allows. We especially encourage young people to get involved and discover the excitement of the sport. This is a wonderful opportunity to give back to your community.

Walks course

This is a great way to take your first step in becoming an official, by learning about Athletics from the official's point of view, what you're looking for and how to assist athletes in an encouraging and collaborative environment. This course will include a seminar and an open book discussion-based assessment.

Note, to complete this course, you must attend a general seminar (a 2 hour overview of athletics including safety and safeguarding) beforehand, which is currently scheduled for Tuesday 1 July.
