WELCOME TO ALL ATHLETES, FAMILIES AND FRIENDS IN SEASON 2013/2014 The 2013/2014 season once again promises to be an exciting time for Sunbury Little Athletics. For those athletes returning to the Centre, we hope that you once again enjoy all the benefits that Little Athletics can offer. To new athletes, we hope that you have great fun, develop new friendships, improve your fitness and achieve your personal best in a safe, friendly, family environment. The Committee has been planning a number of activities over the winter months. This season the Sunbury Centre will be hosting the Coburg Little Athletics club at our venue in December for the 6th year of the Coburg Sunbury Challenge Competition Event where our athletes have the opportunity to compete against children from another Centre within the Region. Once again, we are aiming for maximum athlete participation in all events, both local and Regional. Opportunities for athletes to participate in regional events for relays, multi's, track & field and cross country events, along with nominated State Championship days are listed in the competition Program. The Committee is eager to ensure that we provide positive experiences for all families involved in the Centre. So please don't hesitate to get involved and make suggestions to improve our Centre. We thank you for becoming a part of the Sunbury Little Athletics Centre in season 2013/2014. Good luck and remember to have fun! Sunbury Little Athletics Centre Committee 2013/2014

This Handbook is your guide to our Centre and Season 2013/14.

Please familiarise yourself with the contents and sing out if you have any questions.

SUNBURY LITTLE ATHLETICS CENTRE - KEY RULES

RULE WHY IT IS IMPORTANT

Only designated officials and athletes are permitted on the arena during the running of any program.

Safety - people on the arena may be inadvertently be hit by a discus or get in the way of an athlete

All athletes MUST wear the age group label attached to the front of their singlet or Tshirt.

Safety and efficiency - we need to be able to instantly recognise the names of all athletes at events and in an emergency

All athletes must wear appropriate footwear for all events, including the appropriate use of spikes (under 12-15). Bare feet are not permitted. Any athlete abusing the above rule shall not be permitted to wear spikes for the remainder of the day's competition. A second breach will see the offending athlete barred from using the spikes for the remainder of the season.

Safety - we don't want foot injuries.

The Chief of Officials has the discretion to disqualify any athlete who is behaving inappropriately, from competing in an event/s.

Enjoyment of athletes - we don't want the fun of one athlete spoiled by the bad behaviour of another

On completion of a track event, unless otherwise directed, all athletes MUST report to the centre recorder.

Recognition of performances - If athletes don't report to the recorder after track events their results won't be recorded.

Any general complaint regarding any operation of the Centre will only be heard if made in writing and received by the Centre Secretary by the Wednesday following the matter of concern.

Efficient and transparent operation - if you have a genuine compliant the committee would prefer it was formally dealt with through a transparent process

Any athlete running late for an event will not be permitted to compete unless delayed by another event.

Efficiency and athlete discipline - late athletes delay events, and we want them to learn to develop self-discipline to turn up on time, when called.

It is preferable that parents do not judge/measure at field events whilst their child is competing. This doesn't mean they can't assist!!

Fairness and transparency - we don't want any parent accused of favouring their child (don't laugh - it happens!!!!)

CENTRE SAFETY PLAN

Sunbury Little Athletics Centre have produced a safety plan based on the Little Athletics Victoria

model safety plan, in an endeavour to ensure the safety of athletes, officials, parents & spectators

during competition at Sunbury Little Athletics.

A copy of the plan is available in the club rooms for your perusal and on The LAV website.

Working with Children Check – WWC Check

The Victorian Government through the Department of Justice has introduced the “Working with Children Act 2005,” which has distinct implications on the conduct of Little Athletics.

The WWC Check applies to adults who work with children or are engaged in volunteer rolesinvolving children (under 18 years of age). The WWC Check applicable in Victoria is the mandatory minimum standard for a range of child – related industries.

The WWC Check now covers all areas of administration, officiating, coaching and overnightsupervision at camps and clinics. People working or volunteering in connection with Little Athletics are now required to have their WWC Check.

If you are asked to apply for the WWC Check through your connection withLittle Athletics, then it is considered that your work as an employee or volunteer is vital to the ongoing success of your Region or Centre. We thank youfor your ongoing assistance to provide safe environments for our children togrow.

To ensure that the Association, Regions and Centres are protected under the new system; it hasbeen decided that the following persons’ need to obtain a Working with Children Check, (WWCCheck).

Board of Management - LAVic LAVic staff Members of Standing committees - LAVic Region Executive Committee members Centre Executive Committee members Club Executive Committee members Coaches Officials at State and Region level – (not parent helpers who’s child is participating on theday) Team Managers Volunteers without children registered at the Centre Overnight Supervisors at camps/clinics/functions Selectors for State Teams / Squads First Aid Personnel Athletic Development Officers (ADO) working in schools Presenters of clinics, workshops, seminars Volunteers at Association run activities ( not Centre events – LAVic events )

Parents, who have a child registered at the Centre where they work or volunteer, are exempt fromthe WWC Check, unless they fall under one of the categories listed above.

Page 14: SLAC Handbook 2013-14 Final - SportsTG · 30-Jan-14 Thurs Twilight Competition (5:30pm start) A Boardman Reserve ... 21-Jun-14 Sat Region Cross Country TBC ... SUNBURY LITTLE ATHLETICS

POLICY REGARDING EXERCISE IN EXTREME HEAT TEMPERATURES Sunbury Little Athletics Committee adopted as policy the following LAV guidelines for conducting Little Athletics in extreme heat conditions. General

Children and adolescents are covered simultaneously by the recommendations in these guidelines.

It is recommended that if a large increase in temperature is likely to occur, parents and officials should take extra care to ensure athletes are sufficiently hydrated and shade is provided.

It is recommended that greater care be taken of athletes who are not fit or who are overweight, when exercising in high temperatures.

Education All athletes should be educated on the importance of sun safety and how to be sun smart. This

should be conducted at the beginning of the hot weather season, however, if this is untimely for Centres then it should be conducted at a more appropriate time.

Attire All athletes should be wearing sun safe attire at competition days and whilst exposed to the

sun (except when competing), hats or caps should also be worn.

All Board/Executive members, staff members, officials and volunteers must be seen setting a sun smart example. During competitions they are encouraged to wear collared shirts, hats and where appropriate sunglasses.

Sunscreen Sunscreen should be provided and located in and around the competition arena. In doing so

we are ensuring it is as convenient as possible for athletes, staff, officials and volunteers to use.

The sunscreen must be of the highest quality and meet all Australian standards. Shade Shade should be provided at all field events, marshalling and finish areas. It should also be

provided in other areas where participants, staff, officials and volunteers will be waiting for long periods of time unprotected from the sun.

Public Announcements It is recommended that during competition, public announcements be regularly made reminding

those at the event to keep drinking water, apply sunscreen and remain in the shade wherever possible.

Fluids It is recommended that athletes, staff, officials and volunteers drink at least 7-8ml of fluid per

Kg of body mass to diminish the risk of heat illness (about 500 ml for a 65 kg person).

Children can stave off dehydration during 3 hours of exercise in 35°C heat if enough fluid is consumed.

Fluid should begin to be consumed at least two hours before exercising to promote adequate hydration and allow time for excretion of excess water.

There should be number of water stations in and around the competition arena. They should be located at all field events, marshalling areas and the finish line.

Page 15: SLAC Handbook 2013-14 Final - SportsTG · 30-Jan-14 Thurs Twilight Competition (5:30pm start) A Boardman Reserve ... 21-Jun-14 Sat Region Cross Country TBC ... SUNBURY LITTLE ATHLETICS

The water supplied should be cooler than the ambient temperature, as this will aid in the cooling process.

In addition to water, diluted sports drinks, cordial and fruit juices should also be made available. Not only will this make the fluids more palatable to the younger participants but it will also be beneficial for replacing fluids, energy and electrolytes lost during exercise. It will delay the onset of exercise-induced exhaustion and hence aid in the prevention of heat stroke.

Additional water should also be provided so as to allow participants to douse themselves and thereby assisting in the cooling process. E.g. spray bottles, hoses and buckets etc.

Postponement/Cancellation It is recommended that parents and officials use caution if athletes are exercising in ambient

temperatures above 35°C for an extended period of time (more than 1 hour).

When children are exercising in the heat parents and officials must also pay close attention to athletes doing intermittent events (jumps & throws) as well as continuous events.

It is recommended that each competition venue have the necessary equipment to record ambient temperatures throughout the competition.

It is recommended that events be called off if it is forecast ambient temperature is likely to rise above 37°C.

On the day of competition it is recommended the ambient temperature be recorded at 15-minute intervals at the same point on the track each time.

It is recommended that if the temperature is over the cutoff for two (2) consecutive measurements that no new event should be called until the temperature drops below the cutoff OR competition should be ceased until the temperature drops below the cutoff.

Consideration should also be given to postponing field events that span a considerable time.

COMPETITION DETAILS

Normal Centre competition is held Saturday mornings at the Eric Boardman Reserve, Mitchells Lane, Sunbury.

All children should be out in the high jump area, ready to participate in the competition warm-up at 8.15am. The warm-up sessions are conducted prior to any competition. Start time 8.30am sharp

During the season we hold occasional "twilight meetings" that start at 5.30pm. These meetings are listed in the Centre's calendar of events listed in the front of this book.

On wet days a decision will be made by Officials setting up that morning as to whether we continue or cancel, you should check out the web site for the latest information at

http://www.sunburylac.org.au or alternatively ring Scott Dean on 0419 324 106 for information from 8.15am onwards.

On very hot days or days of inclement weather the Chief of Officials will consult with the committee and may decide to shorten or change the program of the day. We will try to have athletes all doing an equal amount of events for points scoring purposes.

PARENT HELP ROSTER

The success of Little Athletics relies heavily on parent participation. A roster of duty teams will be developed for the season and all families are expected to help out at least when their team is rostered - of course, help on a more regular basis is encouraged and greatly appreciated. All families are allocated to teams for the purposes of the roster: Red, Green or Yellow team. The roster will be available during registration, posted on our

website and available at the clubrooms. (Note: Without enough parent helpers the program will be delayed)

Please note! Parents are advised that the Centre cannot be responsible for children left unattended after the program has been completed or cancelled.

COMMUNICATION

Website, Emails, Briefings, Newsletters, Noticeboards & Local Papers

It is important that we are able to "stay in touch" with our member families. To do this we try to communicate in as many "modes" as possible including:

From time to time we will hold briefings at the Centre, usually before competition starts.

The Centre receives many flyers and information sheets with details of special events, Open Days, etc. These are available from the Clubrooms or on our Website.

Weekly results will be supplied to the Leader Newspaper for publication. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that they will be published every week.

Periodically we will send out emails to members. If you change your email address please advise our Registrar, Carolyn Evans at [email protected]

Finally, we keep up to date useful information on our website http://www.sunburylac.org.au

ATHLETE and PARENT COACH / OFFICIALS SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

COACHING AT SUNBURY LAC

In 2013/14, the SLAC will be implementing a comprehensive development program for all of our athletes.

Weekly training will be available for all of Sunbury's little athletes, with specialist training on other nights depending on athlete demand. Progressive coaching activities on competition days, as well as special events throughout the season will also be provided. Training will start from Wednesday 4th September 2013 from 5.00pm and continue every Wednesday during the season.

Once again, our U6 and U7 athletes will be participating in the ‘On Track' program, both during competition and in training. ‘On Track' is designed to increase every athlete's skill development in sport, and to create a fun filled, non-competitive environment for this to occur.

Please refer the web site http://www.sunburylac.org.au for details of when training and coaching events are to be scheduled.

OTHER ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

LAV runs special coaching clinics for athletes throughout the season including multi event clinics, walk clinics and activities for specific age groups. This includes the Junior Development Squad (JDS). Our coaches can provide more details on these opportunities. Please see the LAV Calender for JDS Dates

U12-U16 Athletes Only

The Junior Development Squad (JDS) gives U12 – U16 athletes an opportunity to gain new skills and improve technical competencies through participation in coaching and training sessions with some of Victoria’s leading coaches. Training with other keen and enthusiastic squad members is both fun and motivational and helps develop new friendships based on an enjoyment of athletics. The emphasis on learning new athletic skills and improving existing ones is in a friendly and supportive environment. The program consists of coaching days, invites to events and a highlight for the year is the JDS coaching camp.

To join JDS, athletes must achieve the qualifying standard in their current age group of this season, although JDS doesn’t commence until next season, with the first activity in October. Therefore current U11 athletes must qualify against the U11 standards, and so on. Athletes must achieve One standard on 2 separate occasions or Two different standards, once. This ensures that the performances show a consistency and not just a once off.

The new JDS qualifying standards for Season 2013-2014 have been finalised, please find them On The LAV website.

For OFFICIALS Compliment all participants on their efforts.

Be consistent, objective and courteous in calling all infractions.

Condemn unsporting behaviour and promote respect for all opponents.

Publicly encourage rule changes, which will reinforce the principles of participation for fun and enjoyment.

Ensure that your behaviour is consistent with the principles of good sporting behaviour. Actions speak louder than words.

Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed of sound officiating principles and the principles of growth and development of children.

Avoid use of bad language.

For ATHLETES Play by the rules.

Never argue with an official. If you disagree, ask your Team or Age Manager to deal with the matter.

Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, coaches, parents or other athletes, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in our sport.

Work equally hard for yourself and/or your Centre/Club. Your Centre/Club’s performance will benefit.

Be a good sport. Applaud all good results whether they are by your Centre/Club, opponent or the other Centre/Club.

Treat all athletes, as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another athlete.

Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of the athletes.

Take into consideration the maturity level of the children when scheduling and determining the length of training times and competition.

CODE OF BEHAVIOUR cont.

For PARENTS

Encourage children to participate if they are interested. However, if a child is not willing, do not force him or her.

Focus upon the child’s efforts rather than the overall outcome of the event. This assists the children in setting realistic goals related to his/her own ability by reducing the emphasis on winning.

Teach children that an honest effort is as important as victory, so that the result of each event is accepted without undue disappointment.

Encourage children to always participate according to the rules.

Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing an Event.

Remember children are involved in Little Athletics for their enjoyment, not yours.

If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than questioning the official’s judgement and honesty in public. Remember, most officials give their time and effort for your child’s involvement.

Support all efforts to remove all verbal and physical abuse at Little Athletics activities.

Recognise the value and importance of being a volunteer official and/or coach. They give their time and resources to provide recreational activities for the children and deserve your support.

Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour, by not harassing athletes, parents, coaches or officials, smoking on the arena or being intoxicated.

Avoid use of bad language.

For SPECTATORS

Remember that children participate in Little Athletics activities for fun. They are not participating for the entertainment of spectators, nor are they miniature professionals.

Applaud good performances and efforts from each athlete. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the event outcome.

Respect the officials’ decisions. If there is a disagreement, follow the appropriate procedure in order to question the decision and teach the children to do likewise.

Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition. Positive comments are motivational.

Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or athletes.

Show respect for each participant. Without them there would be no events.

Encourage athletes to follow the rules and the officials’ decisions.

Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour, by not harassing athletes, parents, coaches or officials, smoking on the arena or being intoxicated.

Avoid use of bad language.

No cautions are allowed in the last lap of an event. When cautioning an athlete, the judge should call the athlete's number first. The term caution must be used. A judge who determines that an athlete's mode of progression does not comply with the definition gives a report. An Under 9 and Under 10 athlete is addressed by the number and the term report or reported must be used along with the reason for the report. For Under 11-16 athletes all reports are non-verbal.

SHOT PUT RULES OF SHOT PUT Each competitor is allowed three throws. (Unless Programmed otherwise) The throw must commence from a stationary position. If the competitor leaves the circle before the shot has landed it shall be deemed a foul

throw. The competitor must not touch the top of the shot put ring edge during the trial with any

part of their body. They may touch the inside of the shot put circle. The shot must land so that the point of impact is within the inner edges of the lines

marking the sector. The shot shall be Put from the shoulder with one hand only. At the start of the trial the

shot shall touch the jaw line, close to the ear, and shall not be dropped below this position during the action of putting.

The athlete may, during the course of each trial, stop, place the shot put down in the

ring, then recommence the attempt, providing that this occurs only once in any trial and that no other infringement has occurred.

The athlete may enter the circle from any direction (but preferably from the rear half)

but must leave from the REAR HALF of the circle. MEASURING THE PUT The official places the spike (with the zero end of the tape) on the nearest part of the

imprint mark made by the shot. The tape is drawn tight and through to the centre of the circle. The distance is measured at the point where the tape crosses the inner edge of the

ring to the nearest centimetre. SHOT SIZES

REWARD AND RECOGNITION PROGRAM Our reward and recognition program is designed to highlight our emphasis on athletes doing their best, persisting, and participating in all events. This emphasis is consistent with LAV Policy. We also recognise achievements such as records, season best performances, participation at Regional and State events as well as achievements at school events. Our committee constantly reviews this program to ensure we are promoting Little Athletics values. Our reward and recognition program includes: Personal Best (PB) listing on event sheets and "real time" recognition. PB recognition on event "tickets". Announcements / rewards for achievement of PB's. End of season "Most Improved Athlete" award (see below). Recognition of achievements in announcements and newsletters. Record certificates. End of season PB certificates End of season "Age Group Champion" awards for participation and performance (see

below).

End of season awards:

Age Group Awards These awards recognise participation and performance by athletes, subject to the eligibility criteria below. Athletes are awarded points for each event they participate in (see opposite page). The more events athletes participate in, and the better their performances, the more points accumulated. Trophies are awarded to the 3 athletes who have accumulated the most points in each age / gender group. Junior Boy / Girl Trophy U6 - U9 Intermediate Boy / Girl Trophy U10 - U12 Senior Boy / Girl Trophy U13 - U16 These awards recognise participation and performance by athletes and are awarded to the athletes who accumulate the most points across the age groups indicated. Participation Recognition Trophy All athletes who meet our eligibility criteria will receive a trophy recognising their participation in Little Athletics for the season. They will also receive a certificate listing their PB's in all events for the summer season. Most Improved Athlete During the 2004-2005 season Andrew and Sally Dick donated funds for a Most Improved Perpetual Trophy. The criteria for the most improved boy and girl will be determined firstly by the number of personal bests achieved and secondly they will not have been awarded a 1st, 2nd or 3rd trophy in their age group. Most Dedicated Athlete During the 2009-2010 season, Les McLean donated a perpetual trophy for the Most Dedicated athlete during the track & field season. The criteria for the most dedicated athlete is the athlete who competes in the most number of events during the season, but does not win a 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their age group. Eligibility for End of Season Awards To be eligible for consideration in the selection of the Sunbury Little Athletics Centre's end of season awards, an athlete must participate in at least 50% plus 1 of the normal Centre meetings conducted during the Track & Field season from the date of the athlete becoming a registered, financial member. Athletes must be financial members to receive a trophy.

SUNBURY LITTLE ATHLETICS POINTS SYSTEM SLAC has developed a points system, based on what is often referred to as the ‘frewin tables', that recognizes the individual performances of each athlete. How do the points work? Throughout the track and field season, each athlete receives points for each event they participate in, based on the standard of their performances. At the end of the track and field season, points gained for all events each athlete has competed in are tallied up, providing each athlete with an aggregate score for the season. These aggregate scores are then used to determine the track and field season Age Group Awards, and the season Junior Boy and Girl Trophies and the Senior Boy and Girl Trophies. The Centre's point system is based on 60 points equaling the Centre Record, carried over from the previous season for that particular event. Points are aligned to equal increments above and below the Centre Record. The following is only a small sample of the overall table, for the 100m sprint:

Under 7 Under 8 Under 9 Under 10 Under 11 Time

Record Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls Boys Girls 16.00 16.59 15.60 16.22 14.46 14.78 13.50 14.41 13.13 13.40

Each points table continues up to 80 points (20 above Centre Record) and down to 1 point
