The Cayman Islands Athletic Association (CIAA) will be hosting a one (1) day seminar on “All About Athletics” for members of the public who are interested in officiating at Track and Field events for the upcoming Season and beyond. The seminar will take place at 10:00am on Saturday December 11 at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex (TBSC) and participants will be taught the roles and functions of officials at a Track and Field Event and how the various disciplines in the sport are judged and decided on.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the different responsibilities of track and field officials, as well as many of the important rules and recommendations with regards to each disciplinary component of a Track and Field Meet, including guidelines that officials have to follow to ensure the safety of athletes, coaches, and spectators.
This is the first in a series of planned events by the Association under its umbrella role of governing the sport, increasing community awareness of the sport and of growing the sport both from a participatory as well as a community involvement level.
