Officials Course at Winchester

If we increase our pool of officials sufficiently, the burden and level of commitment would be much lower than it currently is for the small number of officials we do have, making the experience much more enjoyable for everyone. It is possible for timekeepers / track judges to work in shifts so you can officiate for a morning or afternoon, leaving you free to watch your child compete for the rest of the day. Field officials cover a limited number of events in a day and have breaks in between so you should still have the opportunity to watch your child compete.
nThe duration of the course is one day and WADAC will refund the course fee
nafter 12 months if you are able to officiate at 5 or more matches in the twelve
nmonths following the course. The course fee is £30. Most matches are on a
nSaturday or Sunday during the spring and summer months.
