A few interesting things coming up in the next few months.
1. Courses/Workshops
We will be conducting a Olympic Weightlifting National Technical Official’s Workshop in February. It aims to be a refresher for our current Officials as well as serve as an opportunity for those new to the sport and would like to be involved, to get certified as one.
Also, on the cards is a SWF Coaching Level 1 certification course scheduled for March.
Not leaving out the enthusiast and athlete in you, we will be organising another Introduction to Weightlifting workshop in February.
