Dubbo Athletics

🚨 NO DROP & RUN — PLEASE STAY, SUPPORT & GET INVOLVED! 🚨

As we head into the new season, we want to remind all families of an important requirement at Dubbo Athletics Club.

👨‍👩‍👧 PARENTS/GUARDIANS MUST STAY AT THE TRACK
Any athlete in the Under 16 age groups and younger must have a parent or guardian present at Barden Park while they are participating in training or competition.

👶 TINY TOTS — PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST STAY AT THE STATION

For our Tiny Tots athletes, a parent or guardian must remain with their child at their designated station at all times while they are participating.

This requirement is in place under Dubbo Athletics Club policy and NSW Athletics child safety requirements.

🖤 WHY DO PARENTS NEED TO STAY?
Having a parent or guardian available is important if there is:

• 🤕 An illness or injury
• ⚠️ A behavioural issue
• 🌧️ Training or competition being cancelled due to adverse weather
• 📞 An emergency where a parent or guardian needs to be contacted immediately

More importantly, your children love having you there! 🖤

Whether you're helping the club, volunteering at an event, or simply watching your child train and compete, your support makes a huge difference.

✍️ NEW SIGN-IN & VOLUNTEERING PROCESS
This season, each age group will have a sign-in sheet with their Age Manager.

When you arrive, parents/guardians will be required to:

✅ Sign your child in
✅ Record where you will be volunteering during the session

🚨 PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE GROUNDS

If your child is participating in competition or training without a parent/guardian present and we are unable to contact you, this creates a child safety concern.

In accordance with our Child Safe Policy (Section 4 – Child Safe Reporting Policy), the club may be required to contact the relevant authorities.

Additionally, if a parent/guardian cannot be located within the Barden Park grounds, your child will be required to sit out of participation until a parent/guardian can be located and contacted.

This is not something we want to have to enforce — we need your help to keep every child safe. 🖤🤍

🙌 WE NEED OUR PARENTS!
Dubbo Athletics Club is a community club, and our Friday nights rely on parents volunteering and getting involved.

You don't need to be an athletics expert — we'll show you what to do!

Thank you to all our families for your understanding, cooperation and continued support of Dubbo Athletics Club.

Together, we can keep our athletes safe, supported and enjoying their athletics journey. 🖤🤍

We are still needing several more Age Managers and Age coaches to help out this season! An age group won't be able to run on a Friday night if we do not have parent volunteers to fill these roles!

🏃‍♀️💙 DUBBO ATHLETICS CLUB YOUTH COACHING CLINIC 💙🏃‍♂️

What a fantastic Sunday at Dubbo Athletics Club! 🙌

We had 7 of our amazing youth athletes take part in our Youth Coaching Clinic, where they were given the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge needed to help coach and support our younger athletes.

They absolutely smashed it! 👏🔥 Their enthusiasm, willingness to learn and passion for our club was fantastic to see.

We’re so proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to see them put their new-found knowledge into action, supporting our younger athletes, as well as working alongside our Age Managers and Age Coaches.

Developing young athletes is important, but developing the next generation of coaches and leaders within our club is just as valuable. 💙

We can’t wait to see where this takes them and the positive impact they’ll have on our younger athletes!

A big Thankyou to Adam who came out to Dubbo to take the time to teach these guys!

Well done, team — we’re incredibly proud of you! 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💙

💙 Volunteers Wanted! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Our club relies on parent volunteers to help deliver our athletics programs, particularly our field events, and we’re still looking for more enthusiastic parents to get involved.

🙌 Volunteer Opportunities
👟 Assistant Tiny Tots Coordinators
Help our Tiny Tots Coordinator deliver the weekly program and give our youngest athletes a fun, safe and enjoyable introduction to athletics.

🏅 Age Managers – All Age Groups
Coordinate athletes and parent helpers at each event and record age group results.

🏃 Age Coaches – All Age Groups
