FÍF’s officials’ course will take place over Whitsun, on 24 and 25 May, from 13:00 to 17:00 on both days. FÍF has arranged a partnership with our Icelandic counterparts, and the technical director of Frjælsítróttafelag Íslands, Þhorsteinn Þhorsteinnsson, will come to the Faroe Islands to lead both days of the course.
It is already five years since the friendly instructors Preben Mangart and John Frøberg from Dansk Atletikforbund were here and held an officials’ course. This means that officials’ cards are only valid until 23 May this year, which is exactly the same day that the TF Grand Prix (formerly the Track Grand Prix) begins.
FÍF hopes that as many people as possible will take part in the officials’ course. The course is aimed at team leaders, coaches, parents, siblings, older athletes and anyone else who is interested. We hope that the clubs will try to get as many people as possible onto the course. That will make it easier to organise competitions in the future.
Registration is open, so just sign up.
As mentioned, the first round of the TF Grand Prix is on 23 May, and the plan is for Þhorsteinn Þhorsteinnsson to come and follow the competition and observe the officiating.
These people attended the officials’ course five years ago. Most of them have since measured many kilometres in total, and some have also fired more shots than the average sheriff in the wildest Wild West.
