Athletics NSW is excited to open the nominations for the NSW Throwers Club on Sunday 12th February.

NSW Throwers will be held at SOPAC on Sunday 12th Febrary 2023 at 9am - approximately 1pm (depending on entries).

The events on offer are:

Shotput

Discus

Javelin

Hammer Throw

Under the new competitiion structure the NSW Throwers Club has been ratified by World Athletics and Athletics Australia with a WA Permit, in the A Grade events only. Athletes competing in these age groups can qualify for international and national competition, accumulate World Athletics ranking points, break Athletics NSW and Athletics Australian records, and have their performances added to World Athletics top lists.

All Other grades will be ratified as a state permit, allowing athletes to qualify for the National Championships.

Due to the new sanctioning of permit events, Athletics NSW's role is to call for nominations and to only appoint senior officiating positions such as Technical Delegate, Chief Photo Finish, Track Referee, Field Referee and Start Area Co-ordinator. ANSW will still call for nominations for all officiating positions and in consultation with the host club appoint all other positions.

Officials who nominate for an event will be appointed, unless in certain circumstances. All appointed officials will be notified via email, along with the appointments being uploaded onto the website. 

If you are interested in officiating at an event but also your child is competing, please select 'yes' and we can make arrangements around timing, closer to the event. Half day availability is also more than acceptable.

The Timetable and all other information about the NSW Throwers Club will be coming out soon. However, the event website is up and will be populated with information as it becomes available - HERE

Nominations will close at 11:45pm on Sunday 22nd January 2023.
