The Fiji Secondary Schools’ Athletics Association (FSSAA) began their Officials Training last Friday 23rd at Suva Grammar School Hall in conjunction with Athletics Fiji and Oceania Athletics.
The 2-day workshop was coordinated by FSSAA and facilitated by Athletics Fiji Development Officer Albert Miller Snr and co-facilitated by FSSAA Executive Committee Member Chris Waqa. In attendance were around 57 high school teachers around the central area that showed interest in officiating at the Annual Fiji Finals, more commonly known as The Coca Cola Games.
This new direction by FSSAA is to ensure that the standard of officiating is consistent throughout all zone meets and Fiji Finals and are of international level.
The course delivered; Oceania Technical Officials Certification Scheme (OTOS) is an initiative by Oceania Athletics specific for our regional officials and it is also a recognizable by World Athletics.
