• Smoking is prohibited at ALL LITTLE ATHLETICS venues. It is also prohibited on any part of the grounds of the Pembroke School (including the carpark).
• No alcohol is to be consumed on the grounds of Pembroke School.
• Shoes must be worn as part of the uniform at all times and at training.
• The Club's hat must be worn and not just any baseball cap.
• The chaperone of each age group may dismiss any athlete from an event, or from the competition as a whole, if they fail to behave appropriately.
• ANY unacceptable behaviour must be reported to the Club President.

Athlete's Behaviour

We expect that all athletes will exhibit appropriate behaviour at all times. This includes not only competing by the rules, but also using good manners and respecting all officials and other competitors. Athletes not complying with our Club's rules will be withdrawn from competition.

Code of Conduct for Athletes

• Play by the rules.
• Never argue with an official. If you disagree, ask your Team Manager, Chaperone or supervising adult to deal with the matter.
• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials or other athletes, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted at our Centre, or within our sport.
• Work hard for yourself and your Centre.
• Be a good sport. Applaud all good results whether they are by athletes from your Centre or by an opponent.
• Treat all athletes as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another athlete.
• Cooperate with your coach, Club mates and other participants. Without them there would be no competition.
• Participate in Athletics for the fun of it and try to achieve your best.
• Respect other athletes by being quiet while they are participating, you may be finished but they may not be.
