This is a huge honour and something that a lot of Little Athletes work very hard with their commitment and improvement to be considered.
We wish you so much luck and are extremely proud of you!

CLAC are responsible for setup & pack up of the DISCUS on Saturday and HIGH JUMP on Sunday. If you have an athlete with an early event please arrive early to help us set up, if you are at the track late please help us pack up – this is part of the sign on declaration for attending SIC, please do not leave it to ‘someone else’.
Here is the full list of CLAC Chief Official / Track / Admin Duties AND our Crews for the weekend.
When you registered for the Championships you have accepted that you will take on the responsibility of being a part of running the event for our athletes. Please ensure you read the details below and are listening & ready for the Event you are confirmed on. If you can not attend that event please swap with another family.
THANK YOU to everyone who often puts their hand up to volunteer over & over again, you are what makes CLAC great!
See you in Launceston.
GO CLAC!

CLARENCE CENTRE CHAMPIONSHIPS start tomorrow – Saturday 18th February.
Clarence High 8.15am Warm Up for 8.30am.
Please note the 3 programs shown are not in order of events.
Centre Championships are a little different to our normal Meets namely:
* Programs will be different and some weeks less events as athletes only compete in each Event on offer once (eg: where athletes do more than one Long Jump Event over the 3 weeks of programs they will only compete in Long Jump once)
* Events will have an independent Chief (not AGC)
* Athletes must have competed in the Event at least once to be able to compete at Champs
* Parents are asked to please help at Events however no coaching is allowed (eg: ‘great jump’ is fine but ‘take your run up back’ is not, it’s time for our athletes to show us what they have learned this Season. All other Parents (not helping) are to watch a distance away from the Event
* Full CLAC uniform is to be worn
* No visitors from other Centres
* Ribbons will be presented immediately after Track and Field Events (Chief or AGC for Field and Volunteer for each Track Event as a whole eg: all of 100s etc) VERY EASY JOB!
* All Track Events will be seeded and athletes given specific lanes
* All Track Events will be timed finals (no heats)
PLEASE NOTE: At the start of our Meet (8.30am) we will have a presentation for CLAC MULTI CHAMPIONSHIPS and also for CLAC WALKS CHAMPIONSHIPS. All athletes involved in these Championships are to gather at the presentation area podium.
We wish all of our athletes the best of luck for our Championships. For some, it may be your first and for others, it may be their last, be your best – GOOOOO CLAC!!!!

Is anyone able to help this team out?? They require just one more U8B member – from anywhere in the State – to compete at Relay Championships this Saturday.
Is there an U8B attending / reserve / close by that can help us out??? We’d love to give these boys their first opportunity to compete!

CLAC Walks Championships & Athletes Choice Meet has been CANCELLED.
Our Committee members have visited the site and there is ALOT of water visible and parts of the track have been deemed unsafe for athletes.
We don’t mind wet weather, but we need to be able to proceed safely & at this time we can not do that.
The option to delay the start of our Meet is unfortunately hampered due to many volunteers who have other commitments after 11/12pm and cannot stay any later. to be able to run an athletes choice day we need plenty of time. To restrict events would make no sense on athletes choice day!
We’ll get our heads together and see if we can reschedule this Meet.
Please tag friends below to get the cancelled messsge out there.
THANK YOU to the committee for getting up early, discussing pros & cons, heading to track for ground inspection and deciding on the best way forward with athletes always at front of mind
