NSW Juniors Championships Frequently Asked Questions

All athletes are required to check in for their event! This includes athletes participating in Track and Field events.

Check in will be via an online portal. Athletes will be sent a link to the mobile phone number on their membership profile on the day prior to the first day of competition for that event.

Athletes are required to check-in no later than 60 minutes prior to the advertised start time of their event. Check-in is only required for the first round of each individual event (not any subsequent rounds – e.g. Semi Final or a Final).

The portal will be available for check in from 5:00pm on the day prior to the first round of each event and athletes are encouraged to check in at their earliest convenience.

Any competitors who have difficulty with the check in or do not receive the text message, please either report to the Technical Information Centre (TIC) which will be located at Competition Management as soon as possible to assure your participation in the competition.

Once checked in, track athletes must report to the start area of the event at least 10 minutes before the scheduled starting time and field to report to the field site at least 20 minutes before so warm ups can be completed. 

1. Check the website to confirm the start time of your event(s). The timetable has been updated since the draft.
2. Parents and families can pre purchase their entry/gate tickets to secure the best price.
3. Confirm your phone number linked to your membership is correct.
