New Athletics Activators Resource by UK Athletics and StreetGames

UK Athletics in partnership with StreetGames, have produced the Athletics Activators Resource. With an increasing focus on leadership and volunteering, the Community Athletics Activator Resource offers ideal preparation for those wishing to support, officiate or coordinate an informal activity or short form competition event in their school, neighbourhood, community youth project or as part of their general “street games” activity. The resource might also prove useful for youth, community and club workers, young volunteers and helpers.

Resource aims

By using the Resource, Activators should:

• Understand more about athletics as a sport that offers the
  foundation skills for a fit, healthy and enjoyable sporting life.
• Understand the importance of fun, safe and enjoyable athletics
  activity for youngsters.
• Feel more confident in setting up and coordinating short format
  athletics competitions such as Sportshall and QuadKids in your local
  school, community group or with friends.
• Be able to engage in short format competitions such as Sportshall
  and QuadKids, coordinate your own local school or group events and use
  basic officiating skills.
