Welcome to the Athletics New Zealand Officials' Zone!

Athletics events do not run themselves. Any country with a competition programme will need Officials to conduct competitions according to the rules and ensure that athletes have every chance of achieving their best performance.
As the standard of competition rises, more highly trained Officials will be required.
Athletics New Zealand want to make sure that Officials are recruited, trained and given the necessary structure and support to perform their duties.

Athletics New Zealand online resources now has ‘Starting Out In Officiating Course’

Athletics New Zealand recently introduced a similar course for Coaches. These courses allow interested participants to study at their leisure without the pressure of the classroom environment.

At this stage the starting out in officiating course is aimed at Club and school volunteers wishing to get a basic understanding of events for children, but have an understanding of the IAAF rules. The aim is in due course to also have a basic level course online. This is currently given through a series of lectures. When this comes online it will enable participants to learn at their leisure.
