Orienteering NSW - Calling for helpers for expansion programs

Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Calling for helpers for expansion programs

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 19 September 2017 21:27

Orienteering NSW is now calling for event organisers, SportIdent technicians and helpers for expansion programs we are rolling out in October and November.

ONSW has received grants from Orienteering Australia and the Australian Sports Commission to continue increasing participation across the state.

The three new regions in 2017 are Port Macquarie, the Upper Hunter Valley (Singleton and Muswellbrook) and northern Sydney (Hornsby-Asquith-Mt Colah and Berowra).

As with previous expansion programs, we will offer free taster weekends (with events on Friday afternoon, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning) in each area. We have funding for three helpers (organiser + SI + coach) for four hours per event.

For further information on dates and venues, please click here. To apply for any of the roles, please email Jim Mackay (development at onsw.asn.au).
