Serpentine is very proud of all our volunteers who host nearly 30 athletics events each year. Moreover, Serpentine volunteers are very well known for their commitment to the sport and can often be seen volunteering in athletics events all over the UK and beyond. All our annual club events are put together by dedicated volunteers who invest their time, ideas and creativity to benefit the sport.

Some of our volunteers have gone the extra mile and have obtained the officiating licence from our governing bodies: England Athletics (EA) to officiate in EA-licensed events or from British Triathlon (BT) to officiate in BT-licensed events. An Officiating licence is often required when volunteering in Track & Field events and is highly recommended for those who regularly volunteer at endurance or triathlon events. See the officiating qualifications page for England Athletics or British Triathlon to learn what is involved in becoming a licensed Technical Official with either of the governing bodies. The club can provide financial assistance towards the cost of a Technical Official’s licence. Some of our Technical Officials officiate in international events and hold a Technical Official’s licence with the World Athletics, which is a well-recognised licence within and outside of the UK.

Contact the club’s Technical Lead for more information.
