UNIFORM
The Manly Warringah Centre Uniform MUST be worn to compete. If you do not have maroon shorts or the Manly centre crop/singlet (as shown below; old or new logo are acceptable), please click here for informtion on how to purchase one.  
 
 
In addition, each athlete will require the following:
  • Cloth Registration Number that will be worn on the front of the Centre Uniform top with the red border fully visible
    (Athletes who competed at Littles State Relays will have received their cloth number at check in.  All other athletes will receive theirs when checking in at the Zone Championships. This include Category B athletes)
  • Coles Age Patch on the front right shoulder of the Centre Uniform top
    (This is currently being worn at Saturday competitions). Category B athletes will collect age patches with cloth bibs at check in. 

DO NOT LOSE YOUR CLOTH NUMBER - IT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL CHAMPIONSHIPS.  If your athlete competed at State Relays and arrives without their cloth number, they will have a new number reissued for a $10 replacement fee.  Please note this can be a time-consuming process so arrive with plenty of time.
 
Any competitor not correctly attired will be sent to their Team Manager to correct their uniform, but please note that the event will not be held awaiting their return. 
 
 
 
PARENT DUTIES

To have your parent duty recorded you will need to sign in at least 15 minutes prior to the commencement of your duty and sign out at the conclusion of your duty, with the MWA Team Manager. All parent helpers must be wearing closed in shoes – No thongs or sandals. 

Representative parent duties are mandatory for all athletes competing at a representative carnival. Parents must give a commitment of help for each and every representative carnival at which they have a child competing. Where the duty roster fills up prior to a parent selecting a duty, parents will be required to do an additional duty at the following representative carnival or where no athletes from the family is competing at the next representative carnival, on a regular competition day (in the case where there are no athletes from the family competing at the next representative carnival).  

A link to the parent duty roster will be sent out closer to the event – get in quick to give yourself the best chance of securing your preferred duty at a time convenient to you.  If there are issues preventing you from fulfilling this requirement, please advise both the Manager for Championships (championships@manlyathletics.org.au) and the Manager for Volunteers (volunteers@manlyathletics.org.au) prior to the 16th November so that a resolution can be found prior to the event. Any requests post this date may not be able to be accommodated. The earlier you make contact, the easier the issue might be to resolve, giving your athlete(s) the best opportunity of being able to compete.

In addition, there is a requirement that all families will complete four regular Saturday parent duties during the season in order for your athlete to compete at these Championships. If you have not completed / registered for at least 2 Saturday parent duties prior to Christmas, your athlete will NOT be able to compete at Zone.
