With the Athletics module the school has a time saving online toolkit to plan upcoming events well in advance, keeping staff, pupils and parents informed and up-to-date. After the event, times and performances can be recorded for each athletics event.
*Note: in order to be able to select pupils for each event the School must have Team Sheet Builder.
To get started we recommend adding one or more upcoming athletics meetings. It is also possible to retrospectively add meetings and events that have occurred in the past.
Step 1
- Login to your SOCS control panel and select Sport.
- Select the Sports & Teams, Fixtures and Results menu option.
- Click the Athletics button in the Sports list (Note: if Athletics is not listed then you will need to add athletics to the list. To do this click the +Add Sport button, then add one team at a particular age level - for instance Boys-U18A).
- Select + Add a New Meeting.
- Enter the Title and Date of the Meeting plus any further details.
- Add events to the Meeting by selecting the + Add Events button.
- You can also choose to Copy Events from Another Meeting.
- You can then select Check All to add all events from the previous meeting.
- You can either add a Squad List using the + Add Simple Squad List button.
- Or add pupils to individual events once events have been added to the meeting.
Step 2 – Record the results for each event
- Following an athletics event, you can upload the time / distance achieved for each event and the place (if a race).
