Parent Education:
Sally Kovacic would like to extend an invitation to all parents to learn about operating sites. When the people who are running the event are confident, the event goes smoothly, quickly, and all athletes get a fair go. This is particularly important as we head towards the end of the season, with athletes competing at their best in Centre Championships.
Thursday 02 February 2012 - from 6:00pm - 7:30pm
- focus will be mainly on Throws - a full explanation of throwing techniques and rules will be offered, followed by a round-the-table open-book exam which qualifies all participants as a "D" grade Jumps Official.
Pleas email Sally if you are intending to come so that she has a good idea of numbers. If you are interested in attending, but can't make the date/time, please let Sally know and she can schedule a suitable session.
