WELCOME

We can’t all be Olympians,

but at Athletics everyone can be a Champion.

Athletics is a well rounded sports experience, that teaches the

basics of running, jumping and throwing.

It is widely acclaimed that athletics is the “foundation of all sports” as the skills of

running, jumping and throwing are used in a majority of other sports.

Athletics is focused on being your best. This means that even if you are not an out-

standing athlete, you can still have fun while being active. It’s the journey that’s im-

portant, not the place.

Everyone gets to ‘have a go’ at lots of different events.

We encourage participation from children & adults of all abilities.

Tiny Tots (4 year olds) focus on developing gross motor skills through fun games

and basic athletic events.

Athletes aged 5 & over participate in varying events that encourage participation

while trying to better themselves each week.

EVENTS:

Sprints • Hurdles • Middle Distance Running

Long Jump • Race Walking • Triple Jump

Discus • Shot Put • High Jump • Javelin

Come and have a go and BE YOUR BEST!

MISSION STATEMENT

“To develop children & adults of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a

healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic activities.”

The broad philosophy of Athletics is best captured by the words of its motto

“family, fun and fitness”

Family

The cornerstone of Athletics is extensive family involvement, particularly in the

conduct of weekly activities. This active parent support of their children in active

leisure reinforces family relationships and the sense of community participation.

Participating as an adult is also very rewarding and a great role model for children.

Fun

With its focus on participation and personal involvement, athletics encourages

children & adults to enjoy healthy sporting activity. The opportunity for developing

important physical co-ordination and social interaction skills occurs in a supportive

and friendly atmosphere.

Fitness

The emphasis on developing a healthy attitude to physical fitness at an early age is

the key to adopting good physical fitness habits for life.

Athletics not only contributes to the development of foundation skills in

running, jumping and throwing that will stand children in good stead

throughout their life - it also teaches discipline, respect and teamwork.

COACHING & OFFICIATING

At SCAC we encourage and support parents, guardians and senior athletes pursu-

ing Coaching qualifications in athletics. Currently at our club we have Level 1 and

Level 2 coaches, together with many parents who have completed their Introduc-

tion to Couching Course and the Level 1 Officials Course.

Please see a Committee Member or visit www.salaa.org.au or

www.athleticssa.com.au for more information on Coaching & Officiating

Courses available.

Little Athletics: Introduction to Coaching Course—ITCC:

Little Athletics SA conducts Introduction to Coaching Courses throughout the year,

the majority being staged just prior to, or during the Little Athletics summer season.

The course is all practical, no exam, no previous experience necessary! The ITCC

is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform

basic athletics skills. The course is great for those who want to know more about

the skills of Athletics, so that they may help to coach children, assist at Little

Athletics Centres or prepare students for school athletics carnivals. Participants will

be shown how to introduce and teach the fundamentals of each Little Athletics

event to beginners. Length: 1 day course - approx. 6 hours. Cost: $75 per

participant (must be 16 years +). A comprehensive coaching manual is available for

an additional $35.00.

Level 1—Community Athletics Coach:

This is the entry level for all Accredited Athletic Coaches. The fundamental skills of

running, jumping & throwing are introduced as well as exploring how to engage

athletes in long term participation and how to coach skills to beginner athletes. This

qualification is certified by the Australian Sports Commission and allows

participants to be nationally accredited as a community coach which is transferable

to other sports engaging in the community coach program. The course includes

one day of face to face training as well as the online Beginning Coach General

Principals course.

12


COACHING & OFFICIATING CONT’D

Level 2—Intermediate Club Coach:

The Level 2 Intermediate Club Coach Course is the next progression from Level 1

Community Athletics Coach course and further develops coaches understanding of

how to coach fundamental skills and drills. This level supports coaches to

understand the basic technical models for the Track & Field events held at club

and school level competitions. In addition, coaches are introduced to training

principles and components of fitness and are introduced to the concepts of

preparing and evaluating training sessions.

Level 2– Advanced Coach Event Group Specific:

Level 2 Advanced Coach gives coaches the opportunity to specialize in an event

group of Sprints, Relays & Hurdles, Middle Distance, Jumps, Throws or Walks. In

addition to further exploring the technical model of the event group, the basics of

body weight strength & conditioning and program planning is taught.

13


Accredited Programs (see: www.salaa.org.au)

Officials are very important to the effective functioning of Athletics in South

Australia. The primary role of Officials is to oversee athletics competition by

conducting events through the enforcement of the specific rules of the particular

competition and the rules of the IAAF. Given the diversity of athletics, there are a

large number of different roles and positions that are available to officials. Some

require technical knowledge and experiences, whilst others are fairly basic and

require limited understanding of athletics. For example, working in photo finish

requires training, whereas raking a long jump pit obviously requires virtually no

experience.

In short, there is something for everyone, no matter your level of experience with

athletics. Officiating within the South Australian Athletics competition is flexible.

Registered Officials can attend as many or as few events based on their

circumstances. Even if you are only able to come to one or two events per year or

help out once a month, there is an opportunity for you to be a part of the South

Australian Athletics community.

Officiating in South Australia can provide many benefits including:

• The opportunity to remain involved in athletics if a person is unable to compete

• An opportunity to socialise with like-minded individuals

• The ability to be involved in, and give back to, a community focused

organisation

• Assist athletes to perform at their best and achieve their goals and dreams

• The opportunity to officiate at National Athletics Events and Championships

• The ability to progress to International competition such as the Olympic Games

for those with greater ambitions

Level 1 Officials Course: This is all done online and covers all events at athletics.

This gives a fantastic background to all the rules and regulations required to

officiate at the club level and also at SA Athletics Stadium. After each event is

complete you can print off a certificate. From there you can progress to Level 2

onwards should you wish to do so.

14

VOLUNTEERING

It is a condition of registration that a parent or guardian MUST be in attendance and assist in the

running of the meet when their children are present. This requirement is imposed on the club for

insurance and liability reasons. If there are insufficient parents for a group of athletes, they will be

unable to take part in the events.

The great news is that you do not need to know anything about athletics to help out. Most tasks

that need to be performed at Athletics meets are fairly easy, and your children will enjoy seeing

you get involved. Some areas of specific help that you can assist the club with include:

measuring; spiking; recording; age group manager; starting gun; time keeping; cooking the BBQ;

pack up and set up.

A Committee member or Age Group Manager will always be available to help you if you are

unsure.

CODE OF CONDUCT—PARENTS

• Encourage children to participate if they are interested. However, if a child is not willing, do

not force them.

• Focus upon the child’s effort rather than the overall outcome of the event. This assists the

child in setting realistic goals related to his/her ability by reducing the emphasis on winning.

• Teach children that an honest effort is as important as victory, so that the result of eachevent

is accepted without undue disappointment.

• Encourage children to participate according to the rules.

• Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing an event.

• Remember that children are involved with Athletics for their own enjoyment, not yours.

• f you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than

questioning the official’s judgement & honesty in public. Remember, most officials give their

time & effort for free for your child’s involvement.

• Support all efforts to remove verbal & physical abuse at Athletic activities.

• Recognise the value and importance of being a volunteer! We all give time and resourcest o

provide recreational activities for children and deserve your support.

• Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour, by not harassing athletes, coaches and officials,

smoking on the arena or being intoxicated.

20


CONDUCT & BEHAVIOUR—ATHLETE

• Play by the rules.

• Never argue with an official. If you disagree, ask your Age Group Manager or

supervising adult to deal with the matter.

• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, parents or other athletes, delib-

erately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in

our club.

• Work equally hard for yourself and your club. Your Centre performances will

benefit.

• Be a good sport. Applaud all good results whether they be by your club or

opponent.

• Treat all athletes as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or

take unfair advantage of another athlete. Age Group Managers have the right

to sit you out of an event should they identify this sort of behaviour.

• Cooperate with your coach, club mates and other participants. Without them

there would be no club.

• Participate in Athletics for the “fun of it” and not just to please parents and

coaches. Great friends can be made at athletics.

21


CHILD PROTECTION POLICY

This policy was written to demonstrate the strong commitment of the management

to child safety and establishing and maintaining child safe and child friendly

environments.

Commitment to child safety

All children who come to the Club have a right to feel and be safe. The Club is

committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people accessing

our services and the welfare of the children in our care will always be our first

priority. We aim to create a child safe and child friendly environment where children

feel safe and have fun. This policy was developed in collaboration with all

volunteers, the children who use our services and their parents. It applies to all

employees, volunteers, children and individuals involved in the organisation.

Children’s rights to safety and participation

Club volunteers encourage children to express their views and make suggestions,

especially on matters that directly affect children. We actively encourage all

children who use our services to ‘have a say’ about those things that are important

to them. We value diversity and do not tolerate any discriminatory practices. We

teach children about what they can do if they feel unsafe. We listen to and act on

any concerns children, or their parents, raise with us.

Volunteers

The Club seeks to attract and retain the best volunteers. Volunteers are screened

(police checks) and the club provides support and supervision so people feel

valued, respected and fairly treated

Reporting and responding to suspected abuse and neglect

We will not tolerate incidents of child abuse, physical, emotional, sexual or through

neglect. Volunteers must notify the Child Abuse Report Line on 131478 as soon as

practicable if they have a reasonable suspicion that a child has been or is being

abused or neglected.

22


SALAA POLICIES

SALAA policies can be found at: www.salaa.org.au including:

• SunSmart Policy: Sunscreen is available at the club. Hats must be worn while athletes are

not competing. SCAC will not be held responsible for any child who is not suitably protected

from the sun.

• Smoke Free Policy: The SA Little Athletics Association Inc. and Affiliated Centres and Clubs

recognise that passive smoking is hazardous to health and that non-smokers should be

protected from the involuntary inhalation of tobacco smoke. Under the terms of our

agreement with Victor Harbor R-7 School, smoking is NOT PERMITTED on the

grounds. If you need to smoke then please move off the school grounds to do so.

SCAC POLICIES

• Photography Policy: SCAC is aware of the potential risks linked to the use of photographs

and other images of young people in sport. As a club we acknowledge that appropriate

steps must be taken to ensure the acquisition or display of images containing young people

are not misused or accessed by unauthorized personnel.

Parents and Athletes at the club are advised that during the course of the season photos of

athletes may be used for the clubs web page, advertising or for other promotional reasons.

Should for any reason you not approve of the publication of this material please advise the

club prior to the commencement of the season. Should any image be placed on the internet

that you are not happy with please request the removal of said image by advising a

member of the Committee.

• Blood Guidelines: In today’s society, a blood policy exists in the majority of sports due to a

number of blood borne infectious diseases which can be transmitted; the most serious of

these include Hepatitis and HIV.

The potential for the spread of infection when contact is made has been widely recognised

for many years. As a consequence of heightened public awareness and anxieties,

increasing attention has been given to the possible risks of acquiring a blood borne disease

where spillage of blood may occur. This policy has been put in place to protect injured

athletes, their competitors and Athletics Officials.

23


SCAC POLICIES CONT’D

Weather:

HEAT: SCAC meets will be automatically cancelled if the temperature forecast for Victor

Harbor by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, as published at 5.00pm on the Thursday

prior to the competition, is 37° or above. The forecast can be accessed via the Bureau of

Meteorology website (http://www.bom.gov.au).

RAIN: Athletics will also be cancelled for the evening if it is raining heavily/steadily, or

there is lightening, at the time of start (4.30pm) on a Friday evening, or the ground is un-

suitable for the event (e.g. waterlogged).

HOW WILL YOU BE NOTIFIED? When a meet is cancelled, we will SMS you as soon as

practical. Please ensure your mobile number is correctly recorded on your registration

form.

In addition, weather updates will be posted on our FACEBOOK page:

www.facebook.com/SouthCoastLittleAths.

Health & Accident:

SCAC is run by volunteers. Apart from very basic first aid for minor injuries, SCAC is not

able to manage injuries or illness suffered by athletes. It is for this reason (as well as to

supervise and assist athletes when competing, before, after and between events), SCAC

insists on parents/guardians of athletes to be present at the oval for meets at all times.

If your child has a medical condition which may require urgent treat-ment or medication

(e.g. Asthma, bee sting, allergy, epilepsy, or the like), parents are required to take respon-

sibility of management of that condition and have the necessary medication available at

SCAC meets. If your child requires treatment for an injury or medi-cation for any medical

condition, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to seek or supply such medica-

tion/treatment as necessary.

Drinks and Snacks:

As the season runs during the summer months, please ensure that your child has a drink

at each meet and encourage them to drink regularly between events. Some children also

require snacks between events, especially when expending lots of energy. Please provide

an appropriate snack for your child if necessary. The Club is endeavouring to follow a

Healthy Eating Policy, so please ensure snacks are as healthy as possible.
