Athletes Code of Conduct

• Play by the rules
• Never argue with an official. If you disagree, ask your Team Manager to deal with the matter.
• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, coaches, parents or other athletes, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in our sport.
• Work equally hard for yourself and/or your Centre/Club. Your Centre/Club’s performance will benefit.
• Be a good sport. Applaud all good results whether they are by your Centre/Club, opponent or the other Centre/Club.
• Treat all athletes, as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another athlete.
• Co-operate with officials, coaches, club mates and other participants. Without them there would be no competition.
• Participate in Athletics for the “fun of it” and not just to please parents and coaches.
• Avoid use of bad language.
