The Pentathlon consists of five events competed on the day and points are awarded for performance and then points are added together and multiplied by a factor that gives an even result over all age groups. Entry to this event is $3, which goes towards trophies, and ribbons please fill in the entry form at the bottom of the page and hand in to the canteen by the 14^th of June.

Uniforms

Please ensure all athletes are wearing the correct uniform and numbers. Correct uniform is a yellow Shirt with the 2003 Number on the front and for u14’s down an age patch on their left Shoulder. Shirts or singlets are available for purchase from the canteen for $30. Plain yellow T-shirts are acceptable.

AS of the Pentathlon Athletes will be asked to explain if they are out of uniform.

Parents are reminded that athletes should not be left at meetings without a responsible person coming with them. The committee can not be responsible for any athletes at meetings that may leave the competition area or climb trees or any other dangerous act. Parents are requested to ensure that a responsible person for each child takes part in helping with the running of events at least once every two or three weeks.

Due to problems we have had with some age groups we will be asking one parent for each age group up to 10’s to accompany the age groups and help with discipline, keeping the athletes interest and keeping them together.

Coaching Coaching Coaching

During the June July Holidays we have two coaches from Adelaide attending Alice for two weeks.

We have arranged for a level ‘O’ Orientation to coaching course to be held on the weekend of the 28^th and 29^th of June. This course is an introduction to coaching young people and is good for people who would like grounding in the principals of coaching to help our Athletes. Any interested participants please fill in an expression of interest form at the canteen. More details and costs will be announced ASAP.

During the weeks Starting 30^th June and 7^th of July there will be coaching clinics held for our athletes. There will be sessions for all athletes no matter what age, events or experience. There will be a slight cost involved however we hope to be able to keep it affordable to everyone. Please fill in an expression of interest form at the canteen
