Athletics is supported by volunteer officials Australia-wide. As a growing sport throughout Australia, competitions are only achievable through volunteer support. To enable the continued development of athletics in WA, a greater volunteer presence is needed. The opportunity to officiate at Athletics West competitions will provide you with a broad and in-depth experience in all disciplines of the sport.
Officiating at Athletics West competitions is flexible. 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 West Australian Athletics community.
Benefits of Officiating:
- 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 competitions such as the Olympic Games for those with greater ambitions
If you are interested in learning more about Athletics officiating, don't be afraid to reach out and talk with the Athletics West Staff via email at admin@athleticswest.com.au or call the office on 08 6272 0480.
All volunteers must have a current Working With Children Check, for further information visit WA Working With Children Check
All officials wanting to be involved in Athletics West events must register with Athletics West. Registration enables open communication and allows us to understand your interests and goals for your athletics officiating experience.
In partnership with the WA Athletics Officials Club, Athletics West offers a range of education opportunities for volunteers interested in upskilling in officiating.
