Athletics New Brunswick

ANB, and its clubs, offer a growing, and wide, range of competitions in various age groups. One sign of the organizational maturity of a club is its ability to organize and carry out a top-quality competition. Conducting such a competition requires a great deal of work on the part of the club, but the rewards of club members and friends working together and the revenue generated for the club make it well worth the effort. Interested clubs should contact the ANB office concerning sanctioning procedures if they wish to stage a competition. Without the club's support there would be, at best, a minimal provincial competition program. ANB has some funds allocated to support high-level Junior and Senior athletes to travel to national championships held outside New Brunswick. Criteria is laid out in ANB's Policy Statements. Every club should appoint a well-organized person to act as Entries Secretary. This person has the extremely important function of liaising with club coaches and athletes concerning entries for upcoming competitions. A great deal of club money can be wasted on late-entry fees - or worse yet, an athlete may be denied entry into a competition - if the job is mishandled.
