DLRA Accredited Officials

National Officiating Program

 

The DLRA National Officiating Program was established for the grading, licensing, training and recognition of volunteer land speed racing officials.

The purpose of the National Officiating Program (NOP) is to:

  • Ensure that land speed racing officials are highly skilled
  • Provide knowledge of roles and rules
  • Demonstrate ethical performance of duties
  • Foster personal pride and a respect for the sport
  • Provide efficient management
  • Achieve local, national and international recognition

 

TRAINING UNDER THE NOP

DLRA provides a number of training courses and programs to accredit volunteer officials under the NOP. This ensures officials have the correct knowledge and skill set required for the role they perform. All DLRA Accredited Official Training Modules are endorsed by the Australian Sports Commission under the National Officiating Accreditation Scheme (NOAS), You can read more about the NOAS by visiting the Australian Sports Commission website.

The NOP also provides the framework for the structure and grading of officials' licenses and the process of obtaining, maintaining and renewing a DLRA Officials' Licence.
