Points System for Season Awards a) 6pts
for first, 5 points for second and so on
down to 1 point for sixth - for every athlete
in
each age level & sex. One
possible alteration to the points system is to take into account outstanding
performances and to add : This takes into account attendance, regular attempts at all events, performance and consistent improvement. The Junior & Senior Championship Trophies are also presented for the outstanding athlete in overall age groups. These overall club champions are broken into male & female / junior and senior athletes, making 4 awards in total. As there can be a large difference in numbers in the many age groups we take a number of factors into account before awarding these major awards. This is done at the discretion of the committee taking into consideration not only the total points accumulated over the season but numbers of athletes in the age group, relative performances at the centre level, regular attendance and attempts at all events. All age champions and junior / senior championship awards are delivered at the end of year function and AGM. After every event your child is given a ticket and this is recorded and points tallied against previous efforts (for PB's), etc. With the imminent implementation of electronic timing for some track events, the long standing ticket system might be changing. But performances will still be recorded the same as always. The standard of competition at Little Aths is quite high. Considering that around 35 schools are zoned for our centre this is to be expected. Each of the 11 clubs compromising KLAC is zoned for 3 schools. Even if your child is doing very well at school sports they will find the competition a bit tougher at Little Aths - particularly at centre level. New athletes in partcular often find the first year a learning process as most of the field & jump events events are somewhat technical in nature and require some skill aquirement before they can be competitive with more experienced athletes. But the important thing is to have fun and have a go. The emphasis is in trying to beat your own personal bests. Over the full length of the season, most athletes will almost certainly achieve a club medal for breaking their own PB's. However we are always tinkering with the scoring system to make it even better. Any changes will be discussed by the committee over coffee & biscuits and eventually published here for all to see. |
