Working With Children Checks: As from the middle of this year it is expected that all members of clubs and officials working with children will have a Working With Children Check. There is a 12 month period in which to gain this from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010, although it would be advisable to do it as soon as possible. There is currently no cost for volunteers to apply. Applications are made through the post office. For more information see Working With Children Check
State Sprocket Co-ordinator - BMX Australia are reintroducing the sprocket program. The office has re designed and printed all the sprocket booklets and the level 1,2 and 3 certificates. In assisting to run this program BMXA would like each state to organise a Sprocket Coordinator to liaise with the BMXA office and coordinate the program in each state.
The main role of the State sprocket Coordinator is to: Co-ordinate and promote the Sprocket Rocket Program at state level, using the Sprocket Rocket Guide Book and Sprocket Rocket Skills Award Logbook. They will also assist club Sprocket Co-coordinator with the organisation and implementation of the program throughout the regions and regularly liaise with regional and club Sprocket co-ordinators ensuring that the programs operation is continual. The sprocket coordinators will liaise with committees, accredited BMX coaches and club members as required to successfully implement the Sprocket Rocket Program across the state.
