Parents Responsibility

The Committee has found it necessary for legal and safety reasons to introduce a “No Parent – No Play” policy.
All athletes from U6 – U14 (inclusive) must have a parent or nominated responsible person in attendance for the entire meet to enable the athlete to compete.
Little Athletics is not a “child minding service”. It is a condition of registration of an athlete that the family acknowledges the attendance and participation in the meets is expected. Disregarding this, adds a burden to the already full load that many parents carry helping out and ensuring that their own children compete safely and enjoy themselves. To this end, if Parents cannot be present, there is a book in the clubrooms where you must delegate responsibility for your child to another adult. This policy WILL be policed throughout the season. Parents and coaches teach children to be good winners as well as good losers. The major emphasis is on personal improvement, not winning.
