British Cycling - South East Region have arranged a Track Commissaires Training course on Saturday June 14th.
The course will be held at Handcross Village Hall, High Street, Handcross, West Sussex RH17 6BJ starting at 10:00 and finishing at 16:00. The hall lays back from the road next door to The Fountain Inn. Handcross is just off the A23 at the southern end of the M23.
Track Commissaire Training will be supported by qualified tutors, the Regional Track Commissaires Handbook and a candidate pack.
The course is free to attend, but you will need to be a British Cycling member. Lunch tea/coffee will also be provided free of charge.
Prior to commencing the course candidates will need to complete a pre-course test based on the British Cycling Regional Track Commissaires Handbook. They will also need to complete exercises relating to event programming and running a sprint competition to prepare for the day long course.
This national course enables new assistant commissaires to gain confidence and acquire the skills necessary to help at any region level track meeting. It will also allow more experienced officials a chance to familiarise themselves with the most up to date practice and share these experiences.
The course will be split in to five modules:
Child Protection
The child protection module covers the best practice of how to deal with young and vulnerable persons. It covers how the commissaire can use best practice to deal with real life situations that might occur at a track meeting.
Communication
The communication module covers how commissaires will set an example and maintain their authority during a race. The module also covers how varied behaviour may have unintended affects.
Administration
The administration module covers how to check permits, licences and the importance of keeping good records before, during and after the race.
Technical
The technical module covers the responsibilities of the commissaire regarding the competitors clothing and equipment. It also includes how to set up and manage a gear check.
Competition
The competition module is split in to three parts dealing firstly with discipline and sanctions. Commissaires are then taught how to conduct the pre-competition track inspection (or specific risk assessment), judge and interpret different competitions using the lines and markings on the track.
Candidates will also participate in a virtual sprint competition, a pursuit competition and a points race. During these competitions candidates will have to record results and compose further heats and finals using a sprint formula. Once candidates have recorded these competitions they will need to complete the relevant post race administration.
Please let me know if you are intending to attend as I will need to organise training material and lunch for you.
Please also pass this invitation on to anyone you know who is already a track commissaire or is thinking of becoming a track commissaire in the future.
