Opportunities for Technical Officials
Best Offer EVER for Officials to find out about Officiating
Officials Taster sessions provided by England Athletics
A message from Chris Mallender (EA Club Support Manager for Leicestershire): Applications are now open for Officials Taster Sessions at the EA Champs next year. This is a fantastic opportunity and we had really positive feedback from the sessions last year with over half of those attending going on to do a level 1 qualification, so for clubs who are trying to encourage people to get involved in officiating this will be a really positive experience for them.
This year we are also providing opportunities for people to attend Endurance events: The National Cross Country Championships in Nottingham and the National Road Relays in Sutton Park. These are 2 highly regarded events in the endurance calendar and again will provide a really positive first experience for people looking to get involved in endurance officiating.
Who is it aimed at? Anyone aged 16+ who would like to get involved in officiating.
