Pack Up Duty
U8 Girls this week.

Parent Duty
On arrival would you please ensure you sign in for duty at the duty desk and then report to your duty location. This allows us to identify any gaps in duty roles and to redirect resources accordingly to ensure a smooth running of the program. Parents who only have a child in U6 On Track are not required to nominate for duty.

Relays Are Back!
With a return to normality following several COVID impacted seasons, we welcome and encourage all U8-U17 Caulfield athletes to participate in relays this season.

Weather
Athletics is an all weather sport. We will not train or compete in dangerous conditions including lightning events. Wet weather may also require modification to the planned program such as deferring hurdles and high jump. If a cancellation is required to training or competition, we will publish the cancellation 1 hour before the scheduled start time on our Facebook page and send an alert via Team App.
