Session Rules for Athletes

These are the rules of conduct for athletic training sessions carried out by St. Gerard's Athletics Club.

Training sessions start at the advertised time. Any late comers may be excluded from the session.
Appropriate clothing should be worn by the Athletes. Runners, track suit, T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and raingear are permitted. Spikes should only be worn for sprinting and long jump events. Jeans and ordinary shoes are NOT permitted.
Athletes should behave in a mannerly fashion, engage in activities in a fair play spirit and observe the Code of Ethics of the AAI (available for download on the AAI website) and the club Policy Statement (available on the Club Website).
Swearing and spitting should be avoided.
Athletes shall observe the instructions of the Coaches.
Athletes should not engage in horseplay and activities not associated with the training activities.
Parents who leave their child(ren) at the training venue should make sure that they return to collect their child(ren) 5 minutes BEFORE the session ends
Athletes should leave the training grounds after training as insurance will only cover them during training.
Athletes who are not observing the above rules can be asked to leave the session and in special circumstances be excluded from all future club activities.
