🆘 Match Officials Required 🆘
Every time our athletes attend a YDL league match, or any other athletics competition, Officials ensure that the event takes place.
A competition cannot happen without Officials.
When a team cannot provide a full squad of Officials at any YDL match (min 5 Officials), that team risks having points deducted from their match score. Not something we want to happen when athletes have worked hard as a team to gain as many points as possible.
Qualifying is simple. Attend a virtual course, varying from 2 to 4 hours, often split across 2 evenings. Complete self-paced online modules for Safeguarding and First-aid / Health & Safety, complete a UK DBS and upload a photo for your licence.
The cost of your qualification is refunded by the Club and a VoAAC Officials T-shirt is provided to be worn at competitions.
All we ask is that you attend club league matches as often as you can to support both YDL age groups and the Seniors if possible.
You will be joining a friendly group of existing Club Officials, creating new friends, who will encourage and support you throughout your journey.
You will also be offered the opportunity to support Schools athletics and other events throughout the year.
You never know, this could be the start of a new hobby.
Qualify now and be ready to be part of the action next season!
