Dear Parents and Guardians
IMPORTANT:
It should be noted that all DSD AC officials work tirelessly on a VOLUNTARY basis to ensure the smooth running of our Club for the benefit of our athletes. We ask you to respect these volunteers who have given up their time. The Pre-Registration for Championship Entries is a requirement of the Dublin Athletics Board (DAB). Entry Deadlines are imposed by the DAB, where we must submit our entries in-time. Your co-operation in this matter would be much appreciated.

Volunteers / Officials Note:
As with all events, it is a requirement that all clubs provide officials. Without volunteers to officiate there will be no competition. In order to ensure that our coaches can concentrate on their athletes we look to parents to help when required. Please let us know if you are available and we aim to schedule volunteers on a rota basis throughout the day to share the load. The more volunteers we get – the shorter the duration of each volunteer time slot.
Entries received after the Deadline WILL NOT be accepted.
Race Schedule to follow once available.
Yours in sport
Damien Moran
Athletics Operations Director &
Covid Compliance Officer.
