Content of the Clinic: The clinic consists of three components
The first is the non-technical content and concentrates on:
· benefits of officials membership
· expectations (Code of Conduct)
· Certification system
· Roles of key officials in Stadium & Non-stadium events
· Organizational information
The rest of the clinic will be divided into two sessions that will run concurrently for approximately 1 hour
each, followed by a short break.
The participants will then switch for a second 1hour session on the part they did not attend in the first
session.
The two sessions are: 1) track events and 2) field events.
The track session will cover the track officials’ responsibilities including among others, those of the
referees, starter, finish line judges, umpires and photo-finish judges.
The field events session is an overview of officiating at all field events, vertical and horizontal jumps and
throws with an emphasis on the responsibilities of “new” officials.
Both sessions will be held in English
