Field Set Up

Canterbury Athletics Club, like all Little Athletics are powered by volunteers from our community. We rely on a strong team of active, regular volunteers to help ensure that the events run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Every volunteer role is important.

Where do I go when I arrive?

See our Equipment Manager Amil in the shed at 5:15 pm.

Please help set hurdles into race mode when the announcement is made over the loudspeaker

Refer to the Weekly Program (https://clac.org.au/weekly-event-program) for event times marked with a distance followed by capital H e.g. 100m H for an approximate time of when you’ll be called upon. For the very first race, you’ll be called to help move the hurdles into the correct positions and then adjust them to the right height for race mode.
