Oswestry
Olympians Newsletter - January 2010
Following
my decision to focus on coaching and overseeing the Junior Section
of the club, I have looked at some of the roles that need volunteers.
Many of these responsibilities only require occasional input where
others need regular commitment as follows:
1. Team
managers
Cross country U11G, U11B, U13G, U13B, U15/17G, U15/17B
Sportshall U11G, U11B, U13G, U13B, U15G, U15B
Track & Field U11G, U11B, U13G, U13B, U15G, U15B, U17W, U17M
In addition we also need someone to liaise with Bridgnorth AC to help organise teams in the U17/20's National Junior Athletics League
2. Responsibility
for the spare club vests, taking them to events, collecting them in
after use and washing them for the next competition.
3. Managing
the sale of club vests to Juniors.
4. Helping
out at training sessions in the Sportshall and at the track. After
the summer we will no longer have the services of Arnie Wray at
indoor sessions and Natalie will be at University so we will need
additional volunteers to organise, set up, and supervise training.
5. Volunteering
to officiate at competitions - the club will be involved in 8
competitions in Shropshire and the West Midlands and we are required
to provide a quota of officials at each. We have some qualified
members but need more helpers to assist please.
6. Training
to be coaches - we currently have only two coaches who are qualified
to run sessions and four assistant coaches, and we rely heavily on
Arnie to train the older athletes. If you are interested in coaching
please consider undertaking a course and gain a qualification.
7. Refreshments
- we serve refreshments twice a year, once at the cross country
meeting at Oswestry School in October, and also at the track and
field competition at Shrewsbury track in June.
I
hope to arrange a meeting in February to clarify volunteers' roles
and to ensure that we have enough helpers to enable us to continue
competing as a club.
Please
support your children and Oswestry Olympians.
Thank
You,
Tracy
