Duties Congratulations on making it through to the Little Athletics Victoria State Track & Field Championship for 2011. We have 61 athletes competing from Casey Little Athletics Centre. This is the largest squad we have taken to this event and the Committee is extremely proud of all our athletes who have tried their best and are representing us in this way. Competing at Olympic Park is a fantastic atmosphere and we hope parents and athletes enjoy the experience. How to Get there. Olympic Park Stadium is located on Olympic Boulevard, opposite Hisense Arena which is part of the Sporting Precinct and just down from Rod Laver Arena. Little Athletics Victoria have advised us there is parking available at the MCG and Olympic Park Precinct but allow enough time to get to the venue (Refer to attached map). If you are going into the city via Eastlink, we have been advised that the Eastlink Tunnels will be closed on Sunday March 20th, until 1pm Richmond Railway station is within walking distance from Olympic Park and it is also has a tram running close by. What to Bring Make
sure you bring correct Casey Centre Singlet and Shorts as worn
at the Region Championships. State Officials are very strict on
correct uniform. Undergarments must be the same colour as our shorts (which are NOT navy blue), or flesh coloured. For older athletes permitted to wear spikes, ensure
spikes are no longer than 7mm and are conical, pyramid or blank
only. All holes must contain a spike. · Ample Seating is provided in the grandstands. · Food & drink (there is food available but it is limited and pricey) Other information · Entry for athletes and children under 16 is free. For adults it is $6 for one day or $10 for a 2 day pass. · Programs are available inside the gate for $5 · There will be merchandise for purchase in the main building (Front straight Grandstand). · Casey Little Athletics Centre will be located at the far end of the Grandstand which faces the Back Straight . Look for the Casey Banner. · Athletes must be at the marshalling area half an hour before their scheduled event. Even if running late please go to marshalling first , not to the event. · Result sheets will be posted on the noticeboard near marshalling. Check here to see if athletes have qualified for finals. · Olympic Park is a non-smoking venue Parent Duty The roster for Parent duty and brief description is attached. Please make sure you are available for this duty on time. Team Manager for the whole of Saturday is Greg Jagusch and for Sunday is Keith Van Rossen. If
you are listed as an Assistant Team Manager, please take
direction from Greg or Keith as to what assistance they will need. Most
likely it will be to remain at the Casey area in the Grandstand
and ensure parents who are listed for duty have turned up and are
ready; or to call for any athlete who has not arrived at marshalling. The start times for the duties are when you need to be at your allocated duty (refer to duty roster). So for the first shift that is half an hour before the first scheduled event for the day. If possible please let the Casey Assistant Team Manager or Team Manager know you have arrived and will be going to your allocated duty before you go to the relevant area. Assembly

is in the building outside the arena at the High Jump end of the

Introduction On Saturday March 5th Duty time requirements will be posted in the recording building for all parents of competing athletes to review and sign off for their duties at a time which suits them. This will be available to families to sign off from 8am to 9am and from 12pm to 1pm on the day. Please see Cameron Skeggs at these times. It will be a simple
case of each and every family nominating to perform a duty either
in the morning or the afternoon session of the weekend, as such there
are 4 session to choose from. A maximum of 11 families per

competition at Olympic park all duties will be known and instructions

Any families who do not perform duties or fail to show on the day will be letting the whole Casey Group down as it means someone has to fill their place and perform extra duties.
