As you may well be aware, Singapore is going to host the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) come 2010. They will need a lot of young people like you and me to help out. If you would like to, this is a great opportunity to give yourself some professional accreditation on the national level to help be a Track and Field event judge official.
If you would like to register, you can email me for the Registration Form. Please note the details on the deadlines and trainings.
