smrac distance make running a habit; consistency brings success

Help needed on Tuesdays

There are a number of positive aspects of having a large squad but one consequence is that we need more people to help at training.

What do we need?
We need at least one parent to help every Tuesday in order to be sure that we are meeting the athlete:coach ratio necessary to keep things running safely. With the numbers of people in the squad this should be very achievable. If you volunteer you won't be dropped in at the deep end, but will work alongside another coach for the evening, assisting with a group. You will be needed from 18:25 to 19:45.

What if nobody volunteers?
If nobody volunteers to assist on a particular night then we will have to turn some young athletes away that day. Busy tracks are dangerous places and we are not prepared to compromise safety when there is a lack of adult supervision.

How can I volunteer?
To sign up to assist at a Tuesday training session post a comment at the foot of this page giving your name, the name of the athlete you are linked to and the date(s) you are available. Noel will then update this list of dates. Remember, we need at least one parental volunteer, preferably two or more, to assist each and every Tuesday for the full session to go ahead.

Thank you for helping the coaches and most importantly the athletes with this.
