Overview of the Athletics Coach Accreditation Framework

The Athletics Coach Accreditation Framework is designed to progressively introduce the coaching skills required to develop athletes from beginner to elite level. The framework is designed to allow coaches of all levels to master their coaching, be it at the beginner level or the advanced level.

Athletics Australia has developed two separate coaching frameworks to cater for traditional track and field coaches and coaches interested in training athletes for fun run, half marathon and marathon events.

These two pathways are the Track and Field Framework and the Recreational Running Framework.

The general progression through the Track and Field Framework is as follows:

1. Level 1 Community Athletics Coach

2. Level 2 Intermediate Club Coach

3. Level 2 Advanced Coach – Event Group Specific

4. Level 3 IAAF Coach – Event Group Specific

5. Level 4 Senior Coach – Event Group Specific

The general progression through the Recreational Running Framework is as follows:

1. Level 1 Recreational Running Leader

2. Level 2 Intermediate Recreational Running Coach

3. Level 2 Advanced Recreational Running Coach For further information on the Athletics Coach Accreditation Framework please click here.

For more information and to register for one of Athletics NSW Upcoming Coach Education Courses click here.

If you have any questions or queries contact NSW Coach Education Manager, Andrea Berrell on (02) 9746 1122 or [email protected].

The attempt will be recorded as a fail.

2. POINT SCORES In 2019-20, two (2) separate point scores will be in operation; Age Pennants and the Treloar Shield.

1. Age Pennants

2.1.1 Three age pennants will be offered throughout the 2019/20 Treloar Shield; in the form of Open, Junior and Masters. There is no overall pennant winner but rather a junior pennant recipient, an open pennant recipient and a master’s pennant recipient.

2.1.2 The open pennant is for athletes competing in Open Competition. For point scoring purposes, the open category is athletes aged 20-29. The junior pennant is for athletes competing in the Under 20, Under 18, Under 16 and Under 14 age groups. The master’s pennant will be for athletes competing in the 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60+ age groups. Athletes may compete out of their natural age group (up an age group for juniors, or down an age group for master’s athletes) and will score points in the age group of the event selected. i.e. an U18 athlete competing in U20 would score points in the U20 age group. Any change of age group must be provided to the Athlete check in area prior to the commencement of the event, on an “Age/Gender Change Form”.

28

2.1.3 Each week, the points scored in each age group, by each club, across all venues, male and female, will be added together to yield the weekly point score for each pennant. At the completion of the series, the club with the most points will be the winner.

2.1.4 Points will be awarded for places 1st through to 20th in each of the nine (9) age groups (U14, U16, U18, U20, Open, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60+) as indicated in the table below.

2.1.5 There is no limit on the number of athletes or relay teams which may score event points for a Club.

2.1.6 The 5000m walk will only be scored in the U20, Open and 30-39 and 40-49 age groups. The 3000m walk will be scored in the Under 14, Under 16, Under 18, 50-59 and 60+ age group. The 1500m walk will only be scored in the Under 14 age group.

2.1.7 The 90m and 80m hurdles are only available for males U14 or 70+, and for females U16 and 40+.

2.1.8 Relays will only be scored in the Open age group. 2.1.9 Any para-athlete specific events (i.e. ambulant para-athlete/wheelchair para-athlete

events) will be scored separately to able-bodied events, in the Junior, Open, and Masters age groups stated above.

2. Treloar Shield

2.2.1 Point scoring for the Treloar Shield will be based on the points achieved by the club

after each competition round. The competition round points are determined by the total point score from each age pennant category, adjusted to give equal weighting to each category being scored (Open pennant points (with 1 scoring age group) are multiplied by 4, Master’s and Junior pennant points (with 4 scoring age groups) are multiplied by 1.

2.2.2 Treloar Shield Points will be allocated after each competition. The club with the most Treloar Shield Points accumulated will be the winner of the Treloar Shield for the 2019-20 season.

overall event places. b. Equal times in the same heat of a track event may be given separate places

by the judges. c. When times are equal and track judges have not awarded a dead heat in a race, the judge’s placing will be used. Equal times in different heats of a track event will gain the same place as the higher placed athlete with that time in other heats.

An athlete may be allowed to take a trial in field events in a different order in all except the final round of competition.

Increased number of competitions during the summer will allow all athletes; little athletes, school athletes, senior and master athletes, from various ages, abilities and locations; to have access to more regular competition whilst also accommodating athletes attempting to qualify for major national competitions. The Permit Meets provide a perfect medium to attract athletes from Little Athletics and the school system to merge into the Athletics NSW club structure, while allowing clubs the ability to grow and increase the number of knowledgeable volunteer officials and/or administrators. The series also allows for smaller venues to hold more prominent meets. Club conducted Permit Meets, as part of the Permit Series, will be granted ANSW permits ratifying the event and allowing athletes to qualify for Australian Championships. Clubs can benefit from hosting a Permit Meet through various opportunities where;

- a percentage proportion (based on the club hosting agreement), through either entry fees or from the canteen, is kept by the club

- the clubs venue is granted more usage by running more high profile meets - clubs are given the potential to up skill their volunteers by utilising the meet to gain superior

knowledge and skills - there is the ability to attract athletes to an existing club competition series, with the

possibility to retain them for future meets - it is possible to strengthen the club by being given the task to officiate and direct in high

level competition, allowing the club to grow and operate more efficiently, creating the ability to hold further meets

- the event itself will be slightly more relaxed, creating the perfect environment for clubs (and ANSW) to forge links with Little Athletics clubs and schools.

ANSW can provide the following to the hosting club;

- ratify the competition by granting an ANSW permit - provide a list of events which should be conducted, with clubs given the opportunity to add

other events at their discretion - provide clubs a checklist to satisfy ANSW standards of holding a quality meet - promote the meet through the ANSW website and the e-athlete - provide assistance with sourcing other officials if necessary - publish results of the meet on the ANSW website, providing they are forwarded within two

days of the meet to [email protected]. - offer any other advice in order for the club to run a successful meet including advice of

events), the athlete may move between the two events. An athlete may be allowed to take a trial in field events in a different order in all except the final round of competition. If an athlete misses an attempt and the competition continues into the next round, the athlete will be deemed to have passed that attempt. Please note, the Little Athletics rule of track taking precedent over field does not apply to IAAF rules. Athletes will need to manage their own events and liaise with relevant event officials.

2.13 The Competition will be conducted under the IAAF false start rule for athletes in the Under 20,

Under 18, Under 17, Under 16 and Under 15 age groups. A dispensation has been granted for athletes in the Under 14 age group. To dispel confusion, the false start rule will be as follows;

U14 age groups: - any athlete responsible for a false start shall be warned. Only one false start per race shall be allowed. Any athlete who causes a second false start in the race will be disqualified.

U20, U18, U17, U16, U15 age groups: - immediate disqualification of any athlete causing a false start (one false start incurs disqualification).

Please note - athletes competing up an age group will compete under the rule for the particular age group of competition.

2.14 Protests (IAAF Rule 146) 2.14.1 Any enquiries regarding entries will be handled firstly by the Administration Delegate, then the Jury of Appeal if required. 2.14.2 Any protest regarding competition must be made orally to the Referee by the athlete or

by a person acting on his/her behalf within 30 minutes of the official announcement of the result. The Referee may decide on the issue or refer the matter to the Jury of Appeal. The athlete has the right to appeal to the Jury but this must be in writing and submitted to the Administration Manager in the administration area within 30 minutes of the announcement of the referee’s decision. This protest must be accompanied by a deposit of $20 which will be forfeited should the protest not be upheld. Copies of the Protest Form are available from Administration. 2.14.3 In a field event, if an athlete makes an immediate oral protest against having an attempt judged as a foul, the Referee may, at his discretion, order that the trial be measured and the

58

result recorded, in order to preserve the rights of all concerned. The attempt will be recorded as a foul.
