The Athletics committee want to thank all our regions for the good and uplifting work they are doing for Athletics. A few matters for urgent concern.
 
1. Regional trials

Regional trials are the platform where athletes must do there utmost best to qualify for Nationals. The National Championships is a prestige event and not the place for mass participation. We, the Athletics Committee, want to present a smooth proper organized Championships with well trained athletes. Regional trails are very important to make qualification standards for the National Championships.
 
2. Results of Regional Trials

All results of regional trials should be completed on the attached format (Excel document under Important documentation: Regional Trials Results 2010) and send it directly to the National Convener and the National Head Office of SASAPD. The results must reach us no later than two weeks after competition. We will not allow any entries without the results of trials. It often happens that athletes do not part take in trails and want to practice on the National Championships. Those days are over. We simply cannot afford it any longer.It is also very convenient for regions to have all trial results at hand when team selection takes place.
 
3. Website for info

Regional Athletics Conveners are prompt to make use of the official Athletics website. http://www.athleticssasapd.yolasite.com all the info regarding athletics are on the site. Rules, age groups, etc.
 
Lastly I want to thank all the regions once again who ask questions and who study the rules and regulations. the aim of the Athletics Committee is to run the Athletics of SASAPD at a world class standard.
