EAAC is solely run by volunteers, with no limits to what the club needs. We look for volunteers for coaching, Board membership, Scottish Athletic officiating, grounds maintenance, bus drivers, and fundraising to name but a few. To find out more about volunteering with EAAC and what you can do to help, please email info.elginaac@gmail.com.

Officiating

Athletic Officials are the backbone of athletics competitions. Without qualified officials, there simply wouldn't be any competitions.

There are multiple routes to officiating at a Scottish Athletics event. Though you can volunteer at athletics events without a qualification (but you must hold an athletics PVG), the first step is to complete a Scottish Athletics Assistant Official's Award (or Level 1) course. You can choose from Endurance, Field, Photo Finish, Starter/Starter's Assistant, Timekeeping and Track qualifications. 

EAAC currently have 7 associated Officials. Brian Brown is one of our Officials, and amongst other top competitions, recently officiated the World Athletics Championships in Glasgow.

Board

EAAC is a Scottish Registered Charity and run by a board of members. If you think you have skills that would benefit the club and are interested in joining our board, we would love you to get in touch!

Parent Helpers

We are very lucky to have dedicated athletes that attend our training sessions and represent EAAC at competitions. We look to our parent and guardians for help where possible, whether helping out at training, driving hired mini buses, baking cakes or helping officials at competitions. If you think you have skills that would benefit the club please come and chat with us at training.
