Code Of Conduct

Code of Conduct for Athletes, Parents and Coaches

We support and follow the Athletics NZ Code of Conduct including the following: 

  1. Childhood success is not a reliable indicator of adult success in our sport. 

  1. Give everything a go; specialising now means you may miss out on a future opportunity. 

  1. Everybody develops differently; competition is part of the development progression. 

  1. Let children learn; coaches are valuable teachers. 

  1. Focus on effort and performance rather than the overall outcome. 

  1. Please don’t embarrass your children by making poor decisions about your own behaviour. 

  1. Officials are human and sometimes make mistakes, but without them we wouldn’t be here. 

  1. Abuse will not be tolerated here. This includes verbal slanging, racial remarks, or physical altercations. 

  1. Always show respect for other competitors, officials, coaches and managers.
