Athletics SA are the governing body for athletics in South Australia and can help make your athletics carnival a success! We can provide you with qualified and experienced technical officials, and also internationally certified athletics equipment.
Not only can we help run your events more smoothly and efficiently with the use of technology and experienced personnel, we can also potentially save you money by reducing the need for your school to engage temporary relief teachers.
The cost to engage an Athletics SA Technical Official starts at $160 per day.
The type of officials Athletics SA can offer include:
Starter
Supervises the marshalling of athletes for track events and starts the race. When Photo Finish is used, it is recommended that an Athletics SA starter is used to ensure the smooth operation of the electronic timing system.
Track Officials
Coordinates the personnel at the finish line and ensures that the track events are conducted properly. When Photo Finish is used, it is recommended that an Athletics SA track referee is used to ensure a smooth interface for results from the track.
Jumps and Throws Officials
Ensure that the rules are observed and decide upon any matters which arise during the competition. The appropriate officials shall check all results, deal with any disputed points and supervise the measurements of Record performances. The appropriate official shall rule on any protest or objection.
Timekeepers
Manually record times for athletes in track events. Athletics SA can provide a timekeeper to work with your own staff. We can also provide more than one timekeeper to service your carnival.
Technology
Meet Manager is a track and field results program that can create lane draws, process results, score competitions, and interface with our Photo Finish system. Athletics SA can provide a qualified and experienced operator to coordinate the pre-meet set up of the Meet Manager database, and on the day results delivery. Further detail is available by contacting our staff by phone (8354 3477) or email: operations@athleticssa.com.au
