P R E S I D E N T ’ S R E P O R T

I am pleased to be reporting on my first year in the role of President for ASA which has been a year of much change and development.

First, I would like to acknowledge the work of my predecessor Joe Stevens retiring as President of Athletics SA after 16 years on the Board. Joe’s contribution to the Athletics SA Board as President since 2012 and Vice President since 2001 has been outstanding. Acknowledgment must also be given to Peter Grant who also retired from the Athletics SA Board whose contribution has been significant having served on the Board since 2011. We thank them both for their endless service over these many years and in supporting the current strategy for Athletics in South Australia.

Other changes to the Board saw Brett Fisk and Fiona Stevens retiring, and we thank them both for their service and contribution as Directors over the past 3 years.

Following the 2017 Annual General Meeting, new Directors Michelle Devine, David Cross and myself were elected to the Board. I was appointed the President and Chair, existing Board Appointed Member Andrew Tickle to the Vice-President position, and David Cross was elected as Finance Director. The mix of newly appointed and existing Board members certainly has given the diversity of skills and experience that is required for Boards to be effective decision makers. I am also pleased to acknowledge that ASA also met Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing (ORSR) 40:40:20 policy for gender diversity with a 40:60 mix of three women and four men on our Board.

Athletics SA CEO Adam Bishop was seconded to Athletics Australia with the opportunity to be the Interim High-Performance Director which created another opportunity with the Board appointing Bridget Senyszyn as the interim CEO. Both each held roles for six months until June of this year when Adam announced his registration as CEO of Athletics SA.

Adam Bishop had held the role of Athletics CEO for almost ten years and his leadership and passion to deliver athletics at its best in South Australia is acknowledged and to be commended. The South Australian athletics community wishes Adam all the best in his new role at Athletics Australia as the General Manager Participation and Community Strategy, and we look forward to Adam continuing to work with Athletics SA on national initiatives such as the Junior Sport Policy, Coaching, Inclusion and our Schools programs.

Early in my term, I was fortunate to visit the Gold Coast on two occasions, first to witness the amazing talent from SA competing against the best from around the country at the 2018 Australian Nationals. It was a wonderful occasion to attend the Australia Athletics Gala Dinner announcing the 2018 Commonwealth Games Team. It was also an opportunity for me to meet other national member presidents. On the second visit, it for the 2018 Commonwealth Games which was a once in a life time experience that both spectators, volunteers, officials and athletes will never forget.

Athletics SA was fortunate to have been invited by His Excellency the Honourable Hieu Van Le AC and Mrs Lan Le to South Australian Government House where 100 Athletics SA Staff, Board, Officials, Coaches, Club Administrators and Volunteers celebrated the successes of athletics in South Australia and to acknowledge those who competed at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. It was such a special occasion for our sport, and the opportunity to once again thank all our brilliant volunteers for their time and efforts within the sport.

In my first year I have learnt a lot about what is athletics and who is behind this great sport in SA. I have really appreciated the welcome and openness that I have received from our members, inviting me to their AGMs, Awards presentations and special events. I was certainly honoured to present the 2018 President’s Award to Tony Kenyes at our annual presentation night. A truly worthy recipient to a man who has given so much at both the grassroots and national level of the sport over many years.

I am also thankful to have experienced some firsts for me such as assisting at a running water station, firing a starting gun, sipping champagne on a brand new synthetic track and handing out runners’ bibs. I have particularly enjoyed the banter and the enthusiasm from the club members and admire greatly the work undertaken by the presidents and committee members. Without you, the volunteers, our sport would not exist. I look forward to more opportunities to engage with clubs and I’m certainly focused on our members’ needs being at the forefront of how we continue to grow athletics and making it accessible to all.

Athletics SA looks forward to another exciting year and the opportunity to focus on driving the one sport vision under the leadership of Bridget and her small team which do an amazing job ensuring that athletics stays alive and well in SA. Thank you to Bridget, Jon, Andy, Adam, Krista, Rita, Matt, and Julie for your efforts during this year.

Thank you to my fellow board members, Andrew Tickle, Peter Gayen, David Cross, Michelle Devine and Caroline Jackman for their commitment, energy and the time they have dedicated to Athletics this year. It is so much more than attending Board and subcommittee meetings, your skills and experience are essential to us coming together to be able to make effective decisions in the best interests of the sport.

Season 2017-2018 was year of innovation, growth and change for Athletics SA.

Governance and Leadership During the year, the Association established the new 2017-2020 Strategic Plan, with a vision of being One Sport that is appropriately positioned to realise its full potential with the mission of uniting athletics in South Australia to provide a range of events, products and services that maximise participation and performance.

The Plan focuses on the four key areas of Leadership, Events, Participation and Performance, People and Culture and Communications and Systems, all which have already impacted the association positively this financial year.

The year saw a change in leadership with Joe Stevens retiring as President, and I would like to acknowledge Joe for his outstanding contribution to our sport for many decades. Significant acknowledgment must also be given to Peter Grant, Brett Fisk and Fiona Stevens who retired during this period.

New members Jane Russo, Michelle Devine, David Cross were elected onto the Board, and have already made a significant contribution to our sport.

During this period, Adam Bishop was seconded to a role at Athletics Australia, and shortly after, announced his registration with Athletics SA. On behalf of the entire Athletics SA community, I wish to thank Adam for his almost ten years of service as Athletics SA CEO.

FacilitiesMajor infrastructure projects were a continued focus for Athletics SA. State Government funding of nearly eight million dollars was secured to improve the SA Athletics Stadium synthetic surfaces, lighting, back training area surfaces and to reinstall a pole vault outdoor gym. State and Local Government funding was also announced to develop a new 400 metre athletics synthetic surface in Salisbury, as well as the development of two synthetic straights at the Port Adelaide Athletics Club and Enfield Harriers Athletics Club. These facility announcements and developments will significantly bolster the amount of athletics facilities in South Australia, allowing greater athletics participation at the club level.

PerformanceThis period was highlighted by several encouraging performances by Athletics SA members on the global scale. Jessica Trengove (Marathon, Coach Adam Didyk), Claire Tallent (20 km Walk, Coach Jared Tallent) and Kurtis Marschall (Pole Vault, Coach Kym Simons) completed at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, with Kurtis winning gold in the Men’s Pole Vault and Jess continuing her strong tradition of Australian marathon success by winning a bronze in the Women’s Marathon. We also would like to acknowledge the performance of South Australian born Henry Frayne who received a Silver medal for his performance in the Long Jump.

Just a few weeks after the disappointment of being disqualified at the Commonwealth Games, Claire Tallent claimed a bronze medal at the IAAF World Road Race Walking Team Championships on her debut in the women’s 50km walk, setting a personal best and national records.

Daniel Kirk (F44 Shot Put and Discus), Jessica Trengove (Marathon), Kurtis Marshall (Pole Vault), Claire Tallent (20km Walk) and Brayden Davidson (T/F36 Long Jump and 100m) represented Australia in a strong team at the World Championships in London, with Brayden taking out a Bronze medal for the Long Jump. Michael Roeger (T46 1500m) and Jared Tallent (50km Walk) were also selected, but unfortunately withdrew due to injury.

Isobel Batt-Doyle and Riley Cocks, represented Australia at the FISU Summer Universiade, and Caitlin Adams represented Australia at the World University Cross Country Championships. These athletes are coached by Adam Didyk.

At a junior level, Sarah Eckel (Women’s 1500m) and Harrison Hunt (Men’s 4x100m) were selected to represent Australia at the Under 20 World Junior Championships in Finland in July.

On the local front, Team SA had some extremely successful performances at National Championships with the Open Men and Under 23 men securing two team silver medals at the National Cross-Country Championships. The Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club also took out the Open Men Gold for Clubs.

At the National Marathon Championships, the SA women took home a Bronze team medal, and our Race Walking team took home the Race Walking Australia Postal Challenges for the best collective performances of the season.

The South Australian Juniors also had a great track and field season with 49 medals and 86 personal bests achieved at the Junior Athletics Championships in Sydney.

The 2017-18 season also saw an incredible 24 athletes achieving either one or multiple state records. Congratulations to Lauren Smith, Jordan McMillan, Salumi Robberts, Kodi Parkinson, Nikki Thompson, Jett Carlin, Courtney Lewis, Sophie Paton, Jess Bell, Lachlan Page, Jasmine Ledgard, Rose Pittman, Dylan Stenson, Claire Tallent, Henry Frayne, Michael Roeger, Noah Le Sage Kightley, Nathan Visciglio, Max Hagicostas, Thomas Cusack, Ellie Whittingham, Sophie Casey and Kiara Searle.

Events and Programs On the local front, the Summer Track and Field Season saw an increase of 7% and the Winter Season saw an increase in participation of 13% compared to the previous year.

2018 saw the creation of the new South Australian concept ‘Synergy League’, which saw 4 teams selected through an athletics draft compete in an incredibly even contest. The high performing, crowd engaging spectacle showcased the best of athletics in South Australia, in a fun and exciting format, allowing members of the crowd to watch the events on the track. We were overwhelmed with the great feedback both locally and nationally received with this pilot event and look forward to rolling the event out again in 2019.

Another new concept was creating a Winter Throws competition, which allowed our throwers to have opportunities to compete during the winter months, when competition was not always available.

A big thank you goes to the efforts of the Track and Field and Winter Advisory subcommittees for their role in creating these new events and formats to ensure that our events continue to grow, and athletes have the best opportunities to participate

The commencement of the 2018 SA Emerging Athlete Program was established to focus on high performing athletes between the ages of 17 to 23. The program was designed to bridge the gap between Athletics Australia’s Junior High-Performance Programs and current SA Sport Institute and National Athlete Support Structure (NASS) scholarships. Ten Athletes were selected into the training squad program which addressed key areas of high performance; physical, technical, tactical and mental.

Athletics SA also had a very busy year facilitating several different events and programs including our High-Performance SA Athletics Academy and Target Talent Program, joint holiday clinics with Little Athletics SA, the youth Winter Para Program, and the Port Adelaide Aboriginal Squad. Once again, with the support of the Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club and the Women’s Run in the Park event, we continued to develop and grow the Women’s Recreational Running Network, which now has 1,900 registered members and six weekly scheduled runs.

The development of club capacity and capability is an ongoing focus for Athletics SA, along with continuing to endeavour to increase the number of coaches and officials who are aligned with our clubs. We introduced Officials Beginner Seminars, in an effort to engage new officials into the sport, and also hosted several Level 1 coaching courses, targeting Little Athletics centres and school teachers. Overall, the amount of accredited coaches increased by 22%, however it is a priority next year to ensure that these new coaches continually feel supported and wish to coach at a club level.

Membership Overall, membership in 2017-2018 grew by 204 members from the previous year, with 1,364 traditional members. However, the most encouraging growth came from participants within Running SA events, which grew 37% to over 27,000 participants. Part of this increase was due to a new relationship formed with the SA Road Runners Club. This growth has given us a strong indicator that the association needs to continue to adapt to the growing demand of the recreational running and athletics community. A highlighted area for improvement next year is ensuring that multiple winter events are not scheduled on coinciding weekends.

Sponsorship and Financials Athletics SA would like to acknowledge the generous support of our sponsors and partners, including the Government of South Australia via the Office for Recreation and Sport and Racing, the City-Bay Fun Run Trust, Vilis Bakery, Golden North, The Adelaide City Council, VIVA Global and Mount Franklin.

Summer was a very busy period for SA, hosting the Pacific School Games and the National All Schools. Both events were extremely successful, and we are very proud of our South Australian teams who represented the SA colours in this period. These events also meant additional revenue for Athletics SA through gate entry and canteen sales, which saw the year make just over $30,000 profit.

Despite the positive budget in this period, Athletics SA still faces several challenges including addressing its current heavy reliance on revenue streams that have a potential finite lifespan such as grants, sponsorship and income from our food and beverage canteen service. Securing a range of sponsorships will be a focus for the next financial year as we continue to develop strong partnerships with new businesses and continue to look at any forms of revenue through recreational running events, school sport day bookings and through added events.

People and CultureDuring the year, 100 Athletics SA Staff, Board, Officials, Coaches, Club Administrators and Volunteers visited the South Australian Government House to honour the significant contribution of athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers to the sport of athletics in South Australia. We once again thank all our brilliant volunteers for their time and efforts within the sport.

Athletics SA also wish to acknowledge the 16 SA Officials and many volunteers who officiated and volunteered at the extremely successful eight days of Athletics competition at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. We would also like to congratulate Caroline Jackman on her recent appointment to the Panel of International Technical Officials’ – Oceania Area for the period of 2018 – 2021.

It would be remiss not to also acknowledge the tireless work of the officials, coaches club committees and advisory panels who give up their time to readily ensure the association continues to provide high quality events and programs to our members.

On a sombre note, Athletics SA wishes to acknowledge the passing of Athletics SA Life Members, Judy Daly, John Daly OAM Joy Jarvis, along with Tea Tree Gully Club President, Bruce Ainslie and former athlete, Barrie Tucker. The contribution of these athletes, coaches, officials, and administrators leaves an amazing legacy in South Australia and across the country. On behalf of the athletics community, we extend our condolences to the Daly, Jarvis, Ainslie and Tucker families and friends.

I take this opportunity to thank the Board for their contribution over the past year, as well as the hard-working staff who bring so much enthusiasm to our team. A big thank you to Andy, Jon, Matt, Krista, Rita, Julie, Adam, Paul, our Track Attendants, Canteen staff, and our regular volunteers who we count often as ‘staff’ – thank you!

2018-19 Looking ahead to 2018-19, the intention is that the organisation continues to invest into the sport. Further investment and resourcing in the Marketing and Communications space has been approved, as we look to re brand athletics in South Australia. Club Development is also a priority to further support our brilliant club administrators, as we also look to update and align our policies and guidelines to ensure that the organisation is consistent and supports decision-making at all levels. We will also focus on a State-Wide Facilities plan, to continue the focus on growing infrastructure for regional, grassroots and high-performance athletics programs and events.

The 2017 Winter Season saw a slight decrease in participation numbers, however there were some great results at State and National levels and growth in the Women’s Recreational Running Network (WRRN) which contributed to another successful winter season. A total of 1,172 people participated across the ten cross country, relay and fun run events held from May 2017 to October 2017.

However, the success of athletics in South Australia continued in 2017/18. The past season saw participation growth, brand new events and concepts, the hosting of 2 National events and a large number of state records and national medals.

Through a heavily interrupted track and field season, due to a number of national events, there was still an increase of just over 7% across the whole season. The atmosphere at Interclub, the Adelaide Invitational Series and Event Cup Finals was some of the best Athletics SA has seen in recent years and has contributed to great results both locally and interstate.

The hosting of the 2018 Pacific School Games and 2018 Athletics Australia National All Schools Games in December 2018 was a highlight of the season. Over 2000 athletes competed at SA Athletics Stadium across 8 days, filling the stands with spectators and showcasing some of Australia’s best young talent. Whilst it was a very busy time for all staff, officials, volunteers, coaches and athletes, it is great to reflect back on such great week of athletics here in SA.

Another major highlight of the track season was the introduction of the Synergy League to the summer season. This new team based, ‘big bash’ style event was introduced to give athletes and spectators a new style of athletics competition.

Synergy League was made up of 96 of SA’s best athletes across 4 teams who competed across 9 events to try and get the highest team score and be crowned the inaugural Synergy League Champion. Teams Inferno, Cyclone, Sonic and Electro were hand picked by team managers in a draft style process in which team managers had to pick the best team without breaching the points restriction in place.

Once teams were picked, their athletes took to the track and field on the 28th of February and 9th of March, scoring points for their team based on individual performances. After the 2 meets were finished, Team Electro were victorious and crowned the 2018 Synergy League Champions. Athletics SA are very excited to produce a bigger and better version of this event in 2019 and hope that it is once again a major highlight of the athletics communities year. On the back of another successful Summer Season, the 2018 Winter Season did not disappoint either. Another mix of participation increases and great results continued to hold SA’s recent trend of exciting athletics in good stead. A 12.5% increase across 9 events plus course records at the Ekiden Relay and Fitzy’s 5 Fun Run are examples of how successful the 2018 Winter Season was. Athletics SA are also excited to be in regular contact with other major running organisations such as SA Road Runners Club and Trail Running SA to provide more opportunities for Athletics SA distance athletes. We hope to be able to work with both of these organisations over the coming years to major events aren’t clashing, and that members of each group have the ability to participate in many events at an affordable price.

With a very busy 2017/18 Season behind us, we now look forward to the 2018/19 season and continuing the great run of athletics in South Australia.

SA Athletics Academy Athletics SA and Little Athletics SA continue to develop a clear and cohesive pathway for the junior athletes of South Australia, the SA Athletics Academy. Divided into four categories – Target Talent Program (TTP), Gold Squad, Silver Squad and Bronze Squad, the athletes receive a combination of practical and educational sessions with a view to creating long term healthy and successful athletes.

The Gold Squad again looks to compliment the good work of the personal coaches and has had success in keeping contact and training throughout the Track and Field offseason. The sessions have been run by appointed coaches and we have again engaged some of the State’s leading coaches. I’d like to thank Sharon Ward, Rachel Fisk, Steve Larsson, Jason Stevens, Bob Cruise, Simon Moran, Kym Simons and Paul Taylor for their continued support and input for the program.

The practical aspect of the program has been complimented by education sessions. The sessions have included nutrition, event preparation, recovery and introduction to sports Psychology. The education sessions have been supported by professionals in each of the relevant fields. The Academy program continues to develop the whole athlete and the implementation of the education and practical session is starting to see a good pathway for aspiring athletes.

The Silver and Bronze squads are facilitated well by Little Athletics. The programs allow access to the whole suite of athletic events and specialised coaching for each. This important relationship will only continue to strengthen with initiatives like the Academy where the two organisations work closely together to deliver a clear participation and performance pathway.

Target Talent Program The TTP Squad is the local arm of the Athletics Australia Junior High Performance Squad Program The TTP athletes and coaches have seen an evolution of the program to a National guided Curriculum with key outcomes for each of the event groups. The education sessions have been targeted this year with various sessions aimed at athletes, coaches and parents respectively. The focus of the athlete’s key attributes for success and health in the education sessions has been central. This year to compliment this education, working with the parents to raise the awareness of their athletes’ drivers for success and creating a strong support network has seen great engagement from all stakeholders.

The Coaches’ Breakfasts continue to be an effective way to engage the TTP Personal coaches, however there is still room to grow in this area. Each breakfast has been greatly supported by the Pole Vault SA group in catering for each TTP session. The coach education sessions have been wide in their topics from Neuro Plasticity and training through to Load Management for developing athletes.

Emerging Athlete Program Athletics South Australia with the support of the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing has built a program to address the sustainability of South Australian High Performance athletics by bridging the gap between high performing junior athletes and the SASI program.

This local program is designed to increase the number of SA based athletes selected on senior Australian teams by providing access to Strength and Conditioning, Elite capacity testing, Nutrition, Sports Psychology and competition support. This exposure to the next level of support is a major step in shaping podium athletes and seamless transition into long term SASI athletes.

Having a well-rounded program centred around Long Term Athlete Development and support, will encourage the athlete and their coach to maximize their current practices. The legacy for coach development will enhance the technical knowledge of coaches in providing best practice support networks to further build South Australia’s talent pool. The contributions from Adam Didyk, Eddie Denis, Olivia Warnes, Emma Mattey, Stan Garland, Geoff Verrall, Ben Raysmith and the University of South Australia have ensured that the athletes are surrounded with high level professionals striving for excellence.

The program consists of ten athletes – Harrison Hunt (Dylan Hicks / Paul Young), Sarah Eckel (Adam Didyk), Blake Jones (Debbie Meich), Melarn Murphy (Paul Townley), Rose Pittman (Nik Hagicostas / Peter Deane) Caitlin Adams (Adam Didyk), Duncan Cameron (John Hodge), Liam Moss (Rick Treleaven), and Jaqueline Thring (Dennis Thring).

Congratulations to Caitlin Adams who represented Australia at the 2018 World Uni Cross Country Championships, Sarah Eckel and Harrison Hunt who represented Australia at the 2018 World Junior Track and Field Championships.

Para Winter Program The Para Athlete Winter Program this year saw great support from both athletes and coaches. The athletes participate in the range of athletics events with a view to take them from their first experience participating at the SA Athletics Stadium through to comfortably competing at either the SAPSASA Multi Class Athletics Day or transitioning into the Athletics SA club environment.

The program is supported by the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, and this support allows the engagement of coaches such as Regan Lambert, Anya Kalu, Jordan McKenna and support staff Simon Mills and Angela Mudri. We look forward to seeing the ongoing growth of the athletes through this program and beyond.

2018 has seen many opportunities and challenges for coach education. It has been actively recognised that we are having exceptional uptake of our courses at Level 1, but are having a challenging time transitioning these coaches to Level 2 and greater difficulties transferring previous growth at the Level 2 advanced level.

The Pedrick-Launder Memorial Library has also had it’s set backs with constraints placed on the location. A library trolley has been ordered and this should service the community positively, and allow for coaches and athletes to have access to a large number of quality resources. This has been possible through the generous donation of Roger Pedricks personal library by his family, and the donations offered from Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club and Hills Districts Athletics Club.

Community / Professional Development: We have continued to connect the ASA Coaching Community through the ASA Coaches facebook group, and have found increased communication and professional sharing. We have also attempted online viewing of Professional Development offered through the TTP Coaching workshops so that it could support those who were unable to attend.

In conjunction with the development programs, we have attempted to connect coaches with professional learning opportunities, both presenting technical / application / reflective practices for coaches and athletes to take the advantage of.

Through the inception of the Emerging Athlete Program, we have also had the chance to offer directed feedback to coaches in the program allowing them to enhance their current daily training environment, while also offering them support to access their own professional development needs.
