RELAY TEAMS
If we do not have the correct number of athletes registered in an age group to form full relay teams, we will provide the names of athletes not assigned to teams to Capital Athletics for inclusion in composite teams with other clubs. Composite teams will then be formed by Capital Athletics on 19th November and advised to clubs thereafter. Athletes competing in composite teams will still be receiving points for GUNLAC.
Once finalised, a list of GUNLAC teams will be emailed to all families attending the carnival. If you register for the Relay Carnival but are unable to attend for any reason, please let us know ASAP so we can ensure the other team members still have a full team
PARENTAL ASSISTANCE
All Little Athletics Centres are expected to provide officials for the Relay Carnival. If your child is attending the Carnival, you may be rostered on as an official. After we receive our list of entries and the official roles GUNLAC is required to cover, we will put together a parent roster. The roster will be emailed to families. Please check the roster carefully to see if your family is on it and which role you have been assigned when.
