WELCOME TO THE 2017/2018 SEASON An exciting new season of athletics is about to begin and the Committee would like you be aware of the following points. 1) You will receive a registration number, age patch and sponsorship patch for each registered athlete. Please read the instructions carefully before attaching the patches to the uniform. 2) Please read this book carefully as it contains all the information you need to keep up to date with the club’s activities, important information on how each event is conducted and tips about stretching. 3) Please regularly review the club’s website for the posting of weekly performances of the athletes (under “Weekly Results”), photos and other important information relating to upcoming carnivals etc and the regular club newsletters. Put the web address (www.cherrybrookathletics.org.au) under your favourites list. It is important that you receive the weekly newsletters from the club via email as it is our main form of communication. If you are not receiving them please contact Elizabeth Jones on [email protected] for Little Athletes and Karin Webb on [email protected] for Senior Athletes. 4) Please note rules relating to Age Groups and parent help on Friday nights. No Age Group will proceed to the first event, until the Age Manager and Assistant have signed on and have up to 4 parent helpers to assist them for the evening. Parents who are assisting an age group must remain with that age group for the whole night and assist with the age group. All must be wearing the appropriate fluro bibs. Yellow Bibs for age group helpers and Orange bibs for Officials and Timekeepers. Parents generally will not be allowed on the field, unless they are officiating or timekeeping in an official capacity. Also, note that each Age Group will be rostered to help in a specific area each week – Equipment Set Up, Canteen & BBQ, Timing Gates Helpers or Timing Gates Pack up. Without these rostered duties the Friday night competitions cannot proceed. Each age group is responsible for packing up the equipment of their last event. 5) Remember that a parent or guardian is expected to be in attendance each week for all Little Athletes. The club is not a child minding service for Friday nights. Athletes found not to have a parent or guardian on the field will be asked to sit in the club house until a parent or guardian arrives. 6) Please get involved and support the Age Managers (who are all volunteers) and the club generally. If you do, you will have a great time and so will your children. 7) The club is also on the lookout for event officials and coaches, especially for the younger children. Please contact Valmé Kruger on 0402 126 060 for more details regarding coaching assistance. 8) Remember that it can get very cold on some nights, especially early in the season. Make sure both athletes and parents bring plenty of warm clothing. You have been warned. 9) Some nights will be devoted to teaching athletes the skills of each event and ensuring that parents and Age Managers are fully informed on how each event runs. These will be great nights and you and your child’s attendance will help ensure that both athletes and parents have a great season. We look forward to seeing you all this season.

REGISTRATION CHECKLIST Before your child can compete for the first time each season, please check that you have completed the following for each registered LAs Athlete. 1) Completed a registration form either online or hard copy. 2) Paid the full registration amount 3) Shown proof of age - if new, transferring or not been registered for the last 2 seasons. 4) Have full club uniform – available to purchase through the club or online 5) Collected an age patch, registration number and Jetstar patch. 6) Attached the above patches correctly to the uniform. Note that the current season registration number

must be attached each year for your child to be eligible to compete on Friday nights. 7) Completed a NSW Member Protection form (one for each assisting adult) 8) Completed a Medical form. 9) Complete a Volunteer form. VOLUNTEER FORM All parents/guardians must complete this form and select how you will assist the club throughout the season. Parents/ Guardians must agree to have their child/ren accompanied by a caregiver each time they attend Little Athletics, and must agree to assist with a duty or with their age group throughout the season. The Parent Roster is available in this Handbook. Little Athletics is run on 100% Volunteers - Committee Members, Officials, Age Managers and Track and Field Helpers are all parents volunteering their time for our Little Athletes. Please make sure you do your part to make their athletics run smoothly. If a Little Athlete turns up without an accompanying adult/guardian they will not be allowed to compete and will remain in the clubhouse until a parent/guardian returns. MEDICAL FORM Please ensure you complete a medical form with information for each of your participating athletes – max 3 per form. This information is used to advise the age managers and medical officers e.g. St John’s Ambulance of athletes with specific conditions and needs. If you have an athlete with a specific medical condition e.g. Epilepsy, Asthma, Diabetes, Severe Allergies(requiring epipen) etc., it would be helpful at the beginning of the season if you could identify your child to their age manager and inform the St John’s Ambulance officers of any specific treatment which may be necessary in the event of an emergency. Children are required to have their own epipen or inhaler with them if required. NSW MEMBER PROTECTION FORM It is a Government requirement that any adult volunteering with children completes one of these forms for each place of volunteering i.e. if you have completed a form at your child’s school or soccer club you are still required to complete one at Cherrybrook Athletics.

This form must be completed by any parent or caregiver who takes the field in a voluntary role. Extra copies are kept in the canteen so that visiting family and friends who wish to assist with a child’s group can quickly complete one prior to taking the field.

Adults who have not completed a form for whatever reason are asked to spectate from either the hill or from behind the fence. This rule applies to all spectators. PERSONAL INFORMATION Please make sure your current contact details are kept up to date with the club. The club will email you regularly throughout the season, provided you have ticked this option when registering, to keep you informed of what week’s program we are running, of Championship nominations and events etc. Families who do not receive an email from the club by the first week of competition are asked to check their registration details. This can be done by going into the Join up/Register area on the Little Athletics NSW website and logging in using the athlete’s username & password. Once you have logged in, click the “Update My Details” and check your details have been entered correctly. Please also check that you have selected YES to the mailing list request which is towards the bottom of your member details. If you do not know the athlete’s Username or Password please contact our Little Athletics Assistant Registrar – Elizabeth Jones ([email protected]) – who can then email you the details.

FRIDAY NIGHT COMPETITION Cherrybrook Competition Nights are held at Greenway Oval No2 on Shepherds Drive, Cherrybrook on most Friday nights throughout the season (see calendar) and are open to all registered little athletes and senior athletes. On arrival please assist with the set-up of the track and field and then assemble on the concrete area outside the amenities block for some quick messages. Please find your child’s age manager and sign in your child. Friday night competitions commence promptly at 5.45 pm with warm-up. Following the warm up, athletes assemble with their age groups and proceed to their first event once they have their age managers and four helpers. The first event on the week’s program commences promptly at 6.00 pm and generally the program will finish by 8.30 pm All officials and helpers must be signed on at their duties by the commencement of events at 6.00 pm. All age groups with a rostered duty (see parent roster) must be present to do their roster at 5.15-5.30 pm at the beginning of the night. It can become very cold at Cherrybrook Oval, especially during September, October and November. It is therefore important to ensure that both athletes and parents bring adequate warm clothing. Warm fleecy club tops are available for purchase through our onsite uniform shop and athletes may run in these tops on club nights. We also recommend that the athletes have drink bottles with them each night, especially in the summer months. Bottled water is available from our canteen. A parent and/or a nominated guardian must be in attendance for each athlete each Friday night and all parents/guardians are expected to undertake their roles as general field officials. The only exceptions will be parents with young children or special exemptions agreed to at registration. Please ensure you are familiar with, and assist with your age groups “set up” and “pack away” duties each week, and ensure you assist with your age groups rostered duty. NIGHTLY PROGRAM The club runs three different competition programs to provide athletes with the opportunity to tackle all events open to their age group. Program 1 will be used on the first competition night, Program 2 the second night and Program 3 the third, and so on. If a night is washed out, the program is postponed until the following Friday night. The program to be used on a given night is advertised on the club website (www.cherrybrookathletics.org.au) and a copy of the program will be posted on the wall near the canteen. Copies of the three competition programs are located at the back of this handbook. FRIDAY NIGHT COMPETITION RESULTS Each week when all results have been uploaded there will be an announcement on the Cherrybrook Athletics website Results Page (generally by midday Saturday). Note: Field results entered into iPads or tablet devices on the field upload when saved. You can then access the results by logging into the ResultsHQ website www.resultshq.com.au using your registered email address and password. If you do not know your password or username, click on the ResultsHQ screen prompts. DUAL REGISTERED ATHLETES A dual athlete is a person registered in the U12-U17 age group who competes in Little Athletics competitions (through LANSW) and Senior Athletics Competitions (through ANSW). Dual registered athletes compete in their little athletics age groups on Friday nights club competition. For competitions in senior events held outside regular Cherrybrook Centre meeting nights, please consult the Athletics NSW Summer Athletics Handbook, which can be accessed from the Athletics NSW website www.nswathletics.org.au Details are also sent out in newsletters from the Club to registered seniors.

WET WEATHER In the event of wet weather on any particularly meeting night, please phone Hornsby Council’s wet weather number listed below after 3.00 pm. If the Council has closed the grounds, we will not be competing that night. Wet weather updates are also available on the club’s website. In all other circumstances where weather is a factor a decision on whether the night will proceed will be made at 5.45pm.

The wet weather number is: 9847-6764

IMPORTANT REMINDERS For Parents for Cherrybrook Athletics Competition Nights. All Little Athletes who compete on a Friday night must have a parent or nominated guardian in attendance at the oval. Each Age Group must have an Age Manager and an Assistant Age Manager signed on and 4 helpers before the group will be able to proceed to their first event. If any Age group has not completed its rostered set up duties, or provided the required number of helpers for the rostered duty it will not proceed to the first event until the duties are filled. In line with new Working With Children regulations, all parents/guardians assisting with an event (including working in the canteen) must sign on at arrival at that station. Sign-in books will be available at each location. Please ensure you assemble with one of your child’s age groups at the start of the evening so that you can be allocated duties for the evening as either an age helper or to assist with your age group’s allocated duty area for the evening. Note Under 13-15s will be combined. This means 24 parents are needed for the age groups alone. In addition there are a minimum of 4 time keepers, and 4 starters to run the events. It will be the helpers’ responsibility to do measuring, raking etc. at the events. Additionally the parent roster requires 2 - 3 canteen helpers and 2 barbeque helpers and up to 9 timing gates helpers each week. As you can see it is a big undertaking to run an efficient program. If everyone chips in and helps, the program will run well, start and finish on time and everyone will have an enjoyable and rewarding evening. Please note that the club will be checking if parents are not attending and are simply dropping children off and picking them up. Athletes who are found to be without a parent or guardian will be asked to sit out from competition and wait to be collected from the club room. The club knows it may be difficult for legitimate reasons for a parent to always be there. All you have to do is ensure your child has a nominated guardian for the night and the child and the guardian know who they are and the age manager is informed. Please remember the club is not a baby-sitting service. During the Competition Session, unless you are assisting the Age Manager with the age group or undertaking a duty you will not be allowed on the field for safety reasons. All spectators are asked to watch from either behind the fence or from the bank. No pets are allowed at our Friday night competitions or at training/coaching nights. We hope everyone has a great season and remember, on Friday nights till Christmas it may be cold so bring plenty of warm clothing.

AGE MANAGERS What is an age manager and what is their role in Little Athletics at Cherrybrook?

An age manager is someone who has volunteered to look after and manage a particular age group during the athletics season and in doing so, helps their athletes understand, compete and most importantly, enjoy their athletics in both track and field events.

- 6 -

Your age manager requires 4 helpers to assist each Friday night. Parents should offer their assistance to one of their children’s age managers and if not required as a helper for the evening should assist with the age group’s rostered duty.

Please make an effort to make yourself known to your child’s age manager and show them your appreciation.

Cherrybrook Athletics would like to thank all the Age Managers and Assistants for volunteering their time in this role this season.

SEASON CALENDAR Dual athletes are athletes who are in the U12 or above age groups and registered with both LAs and Athletics NSW.

PARENT ROSTER

Thank you to all the families that help out regularly at Little Athletics. Friday night competitions are run completely by

volunteers, so we need ALL parents to help out each week in order for competitions to occur.

Last season, the committee introduced a new family participation roster which assists in the set-up, pack-up, and

running of each event so that age managers can concentrate on looking after their agegroup each week.

EACH WEEK, one member of each family MUST help out on a duty each Friday night. There will be many

duties you can choose from, eg. Set up (AT 5PM) ; event helpers at: shot put, discus, high jump, long jump;

track starter; finish line helper, timing gate helper, walk judge, canteen helper; BBQ, pack away, age manager

assistants. At times during the season, there may also be jobs like data entry that can be performed during the week

to help out the championships officer or other committee member in lieu of a duty.

At the beginning of the evening you MUST sign into a duty. Once you have signed on you will receive a poker

chip for each child in your family. These poker chips will need to be given to your age managers to allow your

child to compete.

The exception is for parents of the U6 agegroup where parents must remain with the agegroup looking after their

own child and assisting the U6 age manager to run each event and be vigilant with “crowd control” .

No duty = No events for your child

We realise this is a different way to run Friday nights, however most other athletic clubs have moved towards similar

systems for parent help. Our feedback from last season was that we started much more on time, and most parents

really enjoyed learning more about how events run and felt more a part of the Cherrybrook athletics community when

they stepped in and helped out.

If you have a child who particularly needs you with them on a Friday, them please come early and help set up the oval

as your duty. Your younger children can help too. Set up of the oval starts at 5:00pm. We also need helpers to assist

at the duty desk giving out the poker chips. This is also a duty people could do with younger children. Alternatively

speak to one of the committee members and we will find a job that you can do at a time that suits.

Juat a reminder that ALL CHILDREN MUST HAVE A PARENT PRESENT AT THE OVAL THROUGHOUT EACH

FRIDAY NIGHT, OR THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE

Each night, we also ask that the last age group to conduct an event that evening must pack up that event and return all equipment to the storage area (other than timing gates which require special and specific pack up)

UNIFORMS Cherrybrook Little Athletics and Senior club has a Centre uniform. This season sees the introduction of a NEW look Cherrybrook uniform. Original Cherrybrook uniforms may be worn for the 2017-18 season after which the new uniform must be worn. This is a requirement of both LANSW and ANSW. Athletes are able to wear either the full new uniform, or the full old uniform for this season only. Next season, all athletes will have to be in the full new uniform.


- 10 -

Athletes can choose between wearing a singlet or crop top on the top, and either athletic soccer style shorts with logo, athletic running shorts with logo, or compression/bike shorts with logo on the bottom. Little Athletics athletes must wear full club uniform with their registration number and age patch each week. Centre uniform must also be worn at representative meetings outside the Centre. Plain black bike pants /compression tights (no longer than knee length) may also be worn under the club shorts. Footwear is compulsory for all events. Spikes may be worn from the U10 age group upwards for high jump, long jump and for track events which are run entirely in an individual lane. Safety is paramount and Centre rules insist that spiked shoes be carried to the event, put on at the start, and removed at the finish of that event. Note: RULE CHANGE from 2015, in order to bring NSW in line with National standards, spikes may only be worn by athletes from U11 age group and upwards. During normal competition nights and at Championships, “Waffle” style shoes will be acceptable for all athletes to wear. NO SPIKES FOR U6, U7, U8, U9 & U10’s. The Club uniform is available for purchase on-line or at the club on Friday competition nights. Full uniform details are available on the club’s website Registration Numbers & Age Patch: Each Little athlete is issued with a registration number, age group patch and sponsor patch. Seniors club or Dual athletes will be issued with competition numbers to be attached to the front and back of the uniform. The Registration number must be fixed to the front of the shirt/singlet and must be fixed high enough, so that it does not get tucked in when the shirt is tucked in. The red line around the registration number must not be cut off. The current season registration number must be attached for your child to be eligible to compete. Little athletes Age Group Patch must be attached on the left hand side of the shirt/singlet as shown below. Girls wearing crop tops may attach the age patch to the front, left hand side of their shorts or briefs. The sponsor patch should be attached on the opposite side to the age group patch

UNDER 17 AGE GROUP The U17 age group caters for athletes who turn 15 or 16 before 30th September of that season. On Friday nights these athletes compete as seniors, there will be no U17 Little Athletics Records, Coloured Patch Awards or Annual awards. Under 17 athletes will only compete as Little Athletics athletes in LAs Championships events e.g. Zone – State, State Relays, State Multi, State Cross Country and Gala Days Cherrybrook athletics only accepts U17 age group registrations for athletes who are also registered with our “Seniors Club”. Registration in the U17 age group will be a “Dual Registration” and be treated as Senior Athletes.

New Uniform

CANTEEN A well-stocked canteen is available for athletes and parents on competition nights. There is a barbeque every competition evening offering a sausage sandwich and weekly special. The major source of profit for the club comes from the canteen so we encourage you to use our canteen as your family dinner option on Friday nights.

RECORDING CLUB RECORDS Club records can only be broken if they are verified by an authorized Committee member. If a record is not verified it will not be allowed. At field events, if an official is not present please locate one and ask them to verify the measurement. The official must sign off on the recording sheet for the result to stand. For a result to be valid and a new record to stand, the head timekeeper must sign off on the recording sheet. Club Little Athletics records can only be broken on club competition nights. Performances at Gala Days, Championship events or when visiting other clubs are not accepted. Please note for club competition nights: 1) For laned track events using electronic timing the gate operator present during the running of the event

must sign that the gates were working, that the athlete was the athlete in that lane and not someone else, and that they were running in their own age group/gender. For all outer track events using a hand held timer, multi-timer or computer operated timer, a qualified official must be present during the running of the event, two timekeepers must time the record run and the slower of the two times will be recorded. Athletes must run in their own age group and gender to record a record performance. On track events using hand held timing a qualified official must be present during the running of the event, two timekeepers must time the record run and the slower of the two times will be recorded. Athletes must run in their own age group and gender to record a record performance.

2) For a result to be valid, the gatekeeper must sign off on the recording sheet for the record to stand. 3) There will be separate records kept for electronic and hand held timing. 4) Records can be counted if age groups or gender groups have been combined by the age managers for

efficient running of competition nights. Records cannot be accepted where an athlete specifically runs up an age group or e.g. a girl against the boys, for the specific purpose of bettering their time.

5) When there are mixed gender/age groups the age managers need to advise timers to double time the first girl and the first boy, or the first of each age group respectively.

6) Records will not be allowed to be broken outside normal competition rules. Records can only be accepted if obtained on the first run or the best of 3 throws or jumps. i.e. the athlete cannot repeat the event multiple times on the same evening for the specific purpose of breaking the record.

The Club also has a set of Little Athletics Club Championship records which can be broken at major Little Athletics Championship events, including Zone, Region, State and Nationals. Records are available on the Club’s website and in last season’s Annual Report (Red Book). Dual athletes should check the Club’s website to view the senior club records for the U14 – U18 athletes. All senior club records can be achieved at any major school athletics meet e.g. CIS, CHS, CCC, and GPS etc. (where results are verifiable) or at any NSW Athletics sanctioned event. To have records acknowledged from school competitions, or from competitions outside NSW, athletes must inform the club’s Senior Championships Officer of their performance details.

Selection is based on performance, however athletes in U8-U11 age groups may only compete in either track or field events. The four best athletes are selected per relay event, so there is opportunity for athletes to be selected and participate. The State relays are traditionally held on the fourth weekend in November and nomination forms will be available on the club’s website and in the club room from mid-September. The date and location of this competition can be found in the season calendar towards the front of this handbook.

U7-U12 athletes may compete in a maximum of 4 events and only five athletes per event are selected to represent the club, selection in the team is based on performance and participation. Every effort is made to allow as many athletes as possible in each age to compete at zone, and all athletes are encouraged to enter a nomination for selection. Athletes in the U13-U17 age groups have open entry (no selection process), and are restricted to a maximum of 6 events. A Junior and Senior relay team are also selected for both boys and girls.

Nomination for a place in the zone team implies that the athlete will be available for both regional and state if so selected. Team selections will be advertised on the website. NOTE: No athlete (no matter how good) will be automatically entered into the zone until a signed nomination form has been received. The first three place getters in U7 receive medals but do not progress past zone. The first 6 placegetters in U8-U17 and the next best 4 qualifiers in the region, who competed in a final, qualify to represent the club at Regional.

LITTLE ATHLETICS AWARDS COLOURED PATCH ACHIEVMENT AWARDS The club has a coloured patch award program, under which athletes are eligible to receive different coloured patches once they have met specific performance standards across a number of events. The athlete (or parent) must complete and submit a performance sheet to receive each coloured patch which can then be sewn onto their uniform. Performances can be achieved at any LAs event including Gala Days and championship events (where the result can be verified). There is a gradual progression from one set of standards to the next and levels commence at Yellow progressing through Green, Red and Blue up to Gold. The Gold level standards reflect performances at the highest level, very close to State times or distances, and are hard to achieve. The patches are available to athletes in the U7 – U15 age groups. The Coloured Patch achievement performance sheet for each age group is available on either the club’s website or through age managers. When your child has achieved a particular level please place the performance sheet with details of the level achieved in the designated box in the club room. After verification, the appropriate level award patch will be placed in the Age Manager’s File to be presented to your child.

LAs POINTS SYSTEM AND ANNUAL AWARDS At the end of each season the club has an annual presentation (see season calendar for details). At this event all attending LAs athletes are presented with a medal of participation. For all LAs (U7 – U15) awards are presented for most consistent athletes and most improved athlete. MOST CONSISTENT TRACK ATHLETE AND MOST CONSISTENT FIELD ATHLETE These awards are based on the week by week results of each athlete in the age group. To achieve the highest level, it is necessary to attend as many weeks as possible, go in as many events as are available and finish in the top ten in each event that is attempted. The points are computer generated and awarded as follows:

1st = 10 points 2nd = 9 points 3rd = 8 points 4th = 7 points 5th = 6 points 6th = 5 points 7th = 4 points 8th = 3 points 9th = 2 points 10th = 1 point

MOST IMPROVED ATHLETE As with the Most Consistent Athlete, this award is also dependant on the number of times an athlete attends and the number of events participated in. Points are awarded if an athlete improves their best time or distance in each attempted event. Points for this award are calculated as follows: Better than last personal best = 10 Points Equal to last personal best = 5 Points To be eligible for any of the above awards an athlete should have attended at least 52% of the available weeks in the season, or have a legitimate reason for attending less eg injury. Consideration may also be given to dual registered athletes U12+ who may also be competing in the Saturday Seniors program. NB: If an athlete gains first place in all three awards, they will be given the Most Consistent Track & Field Athlete award, as that is seen as the most prestigious award. The first runner up for the Most Improved Award will then become the Most Improved trophy recipient. If an athlete gains first place in either the Most Consistent Track or Most Consistent Field awards and first in the Most Improved award, they will be given the Most Consistent Track or Most Consistent Field Athlete award, as that is seen as the most prestigious award. The first runner up for the Most Improved Award will then become the Most Improved trophy recipient. Actual points given as quoted above can be changed from season to season. It should be noted that the committee will work out which week the calculation for the above awards will commence.

T.J. BEALE PERPETUAL TROPHY The T.J. Beale Perpetual Trophy is the most prestigious club award for our junior division. It is given to a girl and boy in the under 12 age group who best epitomize the philosophy of Little Athletics. The Criteria for this Award consists of attendance of 70%, a positive attitude and a willingness to embrace good sportsmanship.

NB: The committee reserves the right to award the trophy to another age group in any season

If you’ve been unable to answer YES to every question in the Parent Test your/re welcome back next week. If you’ve struggled with any part of the Parent Test it’s up to you to do some homework and get it right. It’s not hard – we can all do it.

FOR THE PARENTS Regardless of whether or not this is your first involvement as a Little Athletics parent, it is always worthwhile to stand back at the start of the season and consider what your role will be over the next six months or so. Your child is in a sport that provides an opportunity for many immediate and long term benefits. The benefits include higher levels of fitness, better health, a pleasurable social environment and the satisfaction derived from skilled performance. Little Athletics can provide a launching pad for a life-long involvement in sport, whether it be elite or purely recreational. Just as important as nay of the above benefits is that Little Athletics provides children with the chance to have fun – TO PLAY. Please do not ever lose sight of this. Unfortunately, all of the potential benefits of involving a child in a sport can be quickly lost due to one important factor – ADULTS. Do not underestimate the effect that you can have on your child’s long term participation in and enjoyment of sport.

By taking a considered, understanding approach, a parent can be their child’s most valuable asset. On the other hand, parents who bribe, threaten punishment, push their child, or hang over the fence screaming, have totally lost a true understanding of Little Athletics. Fortunately, these “clowns” as Denis Baker in his book, “winning is Kid’s Stuff” terms them, are few and far between. You must realise, however, that you don’t have to be a “screamer” to have a subtle negative effect on your child in sport. All too often, adults attempt to impose their own values on children’s sport. Do not assume that children play sport for the same reason that adults do. For example, when surveyed, a large number of children list “beating opponents” and “receiving medals and trophies” as last on a ranking of ten enjoyment factors in sport. Children are not little adults and their sport should be free from adult pressures and demands.

Denis Baker has some valuable advice about putting children’s sport into perspective:-

• Remember when kids play sport, they are not a team or professionals

Don’t deprive them of the opportunity to be kids.

• When you start getting too serious about a kid’s game, for heaven’s sake walk away.

You will inevitably be more worried about what is happening than the kids.

BASIC RULES FOR ATHLETIC EVENTS SHOT PUT Rules

• The put is made from within the circle.

• The put is made with one hand only.

• When the competitor takes their stance the shot must be placed in close proximity to the chin under the jaw line.

• The shot can be placed near the neck but the hand must not rest on the shoulder.

• When making a put, the competitor’s foot may touch the inside of the stop board.

• A foul occurs if any part of the competitor’s body either touches the top of the stop board or top of the circle, or the ground outside the circle or if they make an improper throw.

• An improper throw occurs if the hand is not in close proximity to the chin at the time the hand is driven forward to release the shot.

• A foul will also occur if the shot does not land wholly within the landing sector. If it lands on the line, then a foul occurs.

• When a put is made a throw can only be judged as fair if the competitor exits the circle from the back half. Exiting from the front half constitutes a foul.

Measuring the Distance

• A throw is measured from the nearest point the shot lands back to the inside edge of the stop board.

• When measuring the distance, place the zero end of the tape at the point the shot lands, which is closest to the throwing circle and then run the tape back to the centre of the throwing circle.

• The distance is then measured to the inside of the stop board along a line from the point of landing to the centre of the circle.

• Always measure to the nearest centimetre below the distance thrown i.e. if the distance thrown is 99.5cm the distance will be measured at 99 centimetres.

Throws per Event

• Each competitor will be given three puts and their best throw will be recorded as their distance for the evening.

• Always try to ensure each competitor records a throw each night. Little Athletics – Shot Put Specifications

DISCUS Rules

• A throw is made from within the circle

• A throw is made from a standing start

• A competitor is allowed to touch the inside of the iron band when making a throw

• If any part of the competitor touches the top or goes outside of the iron band when making a throw, it will be judged a foul

• A foul will also occur if the discus does not land wholly within the landing sector. If it lands on the

line, then a foul occurs.

- 23 -


• A throw is measured from the nearest point the discus lands back to the inside edge of the iron band.

• When measuring the distance, place the zero end of the tape at the point the discus lands which is

closest to the circle and then run the tape back to the centre of the throwing circle.

• The distance is then measured to the inside of the iron band along a line from the mark to the centre of the circle.

• Distances shall always be recorded to the nearest centimetre (0.01m) below the distance measured if the distance measured is not a whole centimetre

Throws per Event

• Each competitor will be given 3 throws and their best throw will be recorded as their distance for the evening.

• Always try to ensure each competitor records a throw each night.

JAVELIN Basic Rules

• The Javelin must be held at the grip. It shall be thrown over the shoulder or the upper part of the throwing arm and must not be slung or hurled.

• A throw will only be valid if the tip of the javelin hits the ground first before any other part. It does not have to stick in the ground.

• To be a valid throw the javelin must land wholly within the inner edge of the landing sector.

• At no time during the throw can the athlete turn their back completely on the throw until it lands.

• The athlete cannot leave the runway until the javelin lands and must exit behind the throwing arc.

• Each athlete will be given three throws with the best being recorded. Measuring the Distance

• The zero end of the tape will be held where the tip of the javelin first landed and measured back to the inside edge of the arc with the tape pulled back 8 metres to the centre of the throwing arc.

LONG JUMP / TRIPLE JUMP Rules

• A foul occurs when any part of the mark made by the competitors take off foot crosses the front of the take-off mat (under 6’s to under 12’s) or beyond the 20cm white take off board (under 13’s to under 15’s), which is clearly marked on the runway.

• A foul occurs if the competitor, when they land, touches the ground outside the landing area (pit), nearer to the take-off board than the nearest break made in the landing area on making the jump.

• It is a foul, if after landing, the competitor walks back through the landing area.

• In triple jump (hop, step, jump), a hop is made so that the athlete first lands on the same foot from which they have taken off from, in the step they land on the other foot and it is from this foot that the jump is performed. If the competitor, whilst jumping, touches the ground with the trailing leg, it does not count as a foul.

Take-Off Boards – Very Important

• For U6 to U10 a 50cm sand take-off area is used. The front of this sand area is positioned 0.5m from the end of the pit for U6 and U7 and 1.0m from the end for the other age groups to U11’s.

• A jump is measured to the front of any indentation made by the jumper in the sand on the take-off area.

• If the jumper takes off before the take-off area the measurement is made to the back NOT the front of the take-off area.

• For U11’s up the normal white 20cm take-off board is used.

• All measurements are perpendicular to the front of the take-off board for the U12s up.


• When measuring the distance, you place the zero end of the tape at the first point the athlete breaks the sand with any part of their body nearest to the take-off board.

• In the U6’s to under 10’s, the zero end of the tape is then placed at the point of entry and measured back to the indentation made in the take-off sand area. If no indentation is made the jump is measured to the back of the take-off sand area.

• For under 11’s and above, the jump is measured back to the front of the 20 centimetre take off board in a perpendicular manner.

• Always measure to the nearest centimetre below the distance jumped. Jumps per Event

• Each competitor is allowed three jumps, with the longest being recorded as their distance for the evening.

• Always ensure every competitor records a jump each night. HIGH JUMP Rules

• Each athlete is given 3 attempts to clear each height.

• If they fail to clear the height after their third attempt, they are out of the competition.

• Failure on any given height occurs if the bar is knocked off the supports during a jump.

• If a competitor touches the ground or landing area beyond the plane of the upright with any part of the body without clearing the bar this shall also count as a failure.

• If the bar falls off without having been knocked by a competitor (e.g. due to strong wind) this is not a failure and the athlete is given another jump

• When a competitor clears a particular height, they do not jump again until the next height.

• A competitor can pass at a height if they desire.

• A competitor can miss a particular height and then elect to take a jump at a different height. After three consecutive failures, regardless of height at which the jump is made, they are eliminated.

• A competitor must jump off one leg only for the jump to be legal.


• The height is measured using the steel bar marked in graduated centimetres with the zero end placed on the ground, perpendicular to the bar.

• Heights are measured in whole centimetres with the measure placed perpendicular to the ground and measured to the lowest part of the upper side of the cross bar. – usually around the middle of the bar.

- 25 -

• After all the competitors have completed a particular height, the cross bar height is increased by 5 centimetres.

• When only 6 or less competitors are left they are entitled to have the cross bar increased at 2 centimetre intervals between heights, if requested.

Recording

• When recording a competitor’s attempts at a given height, a clearance is marked with a “0” and failure with an “X”.

• Three consecutive “X”’s constitute elimination from the competition and a “0” at any given height enables the competitor to advance to the next height.

• If an athlete passes a height that is noted by a “-“. NOTE: All athletes at Cherrybrook Athletics will be encouraged to use the scissor technique properly and to jump a reasonable height with it before they attempt to flop. From 2015/16 season U9s are ONLY allowed to use the scissor technique at all competitions/event. The starting height for high jump will be: Under 9 0.75 metres Under 15 1.15 metres Under10 0.85 metres Under 17 1.20 metres Under 11 0.95 metres Under 18 1.30 metres Under 12 1.05 metres Under 20 1.30 metres Under 13 1.10 metres Seniors 1.30 metres Under 14 1.15 metres NOTE: Please note that under 8’s also do high jump but only as training and use a rubber flexi bar. Also note every effort will be made to ensure all competitors clear a height each night. If necessary, the starting height for some competitors should be lowered to ensure they get a chance to clear a height.

TRACK ELECTRONIC GATE TIMING

70/100 METERS, Hurdles Track & Inner Track (200meters & 400 meters) & Outer Track Electronic gates will be used to record results automatically. The computers will automatically be populated with results based on lane order for laned events or for pack starts place order. Athlete numbers will then be entered into the computer next to each result.

Marshal – Laned Events

• The place marshal will organise the competitors into lane order.

• The competitors will then be taken to the recorder to have their athlete number entered into the

computer next to their time for the corresponding lane.

Marshal – Outer Track Pack Starts

• An additional time keeper will record first place only to ensure that performance is accurately recorded.

• Marshals will ensure that all competitors are in correct place order and are handed the place cards.

• The marshal will then take the competitors over to the outer track recorders who will enter the athlete

number into the computer next to the corresponding place times.

HAND HELD TIMING -will be used in the event that the electronic gates are not functioning or setup

Officials – 70 / 100 METRES, Hurdles Track & Inner Track (200 metres & 400 metres) The key official / head timekeeper may time all places using the Seiko multi timer or simply take an extra record for first place. The place time keepers will each time an individual position from 1 through 6 and their times will be checked off against the head time keeper’s results. Any obvious discrepancies will be deferred to the head time keeper’s time.

- 26 -

The place marshal will organise the competitors into order of finish from 1 to 6 and provide a place card. The times will be recorded on the results sheet. The competitors will then be taken by the marshal to the recorders to have their centre number collated with their results.

Timing (Hand held) • Time keepers start their watches as soon as they see the smoke form the starter’s gun.

• Always start the stop watches using the last joint of the index finger

• Time keepers stop their watches when a part of the torso of the competitor they are timing crosses the nearer edge of the finishing line.

• Times recorded are rounded up to the nearest 1/10 of a second (i.e. 10.11 shall read as 10.2) Starters

• For all events apart from the outer track, the command will be “on your marks” followed by the reasonable lapse with “set” and when all the competitors are settled the gun is fired.

• If there is a break the gun shall be fired again and the competitors recalled. No athlete is to be disqualified for two breaks.

• On the outer track the command shall be “on your marks” and when all competitors are settled the gun is fired.

Marshall

• The place marshal will organise the competitors into order of finish and provide them with a place card.

• The times in order of finish will be recorded on the place sheet.

• The competitors will then be taken to the recorder to have their centre number recorded next to their time.

OUTER TRACK

Timing • The head time keeper will use the multi timer to record all competitor times

• An additional time keeper will record first place only to ensure that performance is accurately recorded.

• Marshals will ensure that all competitors are in correct place order and are handed the place cards.

• The marshal will then take the print out from the multi timer which records all places with their times and take the competitors over to the inner / outer track recorders who will note the times.
