Code of Behaviour
Weston Creek Little Athletics endorses the Code of Behaviour adopted by the ACTLAA. A copy of that code will be on display in the pavilion.
Alcohol and Drugs
Weston Creek Little Athletics endorses the alcohol and drugs policy adopted by the ACTLAA. There is zero tolerance on the consumption of alcohol and the use of drugs by athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers in the competition area during Centre organised competition. The zero tolerance on the use of drugs does not apply to prescribed medications, however an expectation exists that if the medication is performance enhancing, such notification will be given respectively to the Team Manager or Age Manager prior to ACTLAA sanctioned events or Centre Championships.
Uniforms
Centre colours are red and black and the official competition uniform consists of a red T-shirt with black sleeves complemented by black shorts. Uniform T-shirts ($TBA) can be purchased or ordered from the canteen. A red and black singlet, red and black crop top or red and black body suit are permissible in lieu of the tee-shirt as official competition uniform, however are not offered for sale by the Centre.
In all competition outside the Centre (e.g. ACT Carnivals & Championships, etc), the official Centre Uniform must be worn. This will include an age patch, registration number, and any current sponsor's logo. For carnivals outside the centre, competitors will not be allowed to take part in any event if they fail to comply with the uniform rules.
Competition Tickets and Merit Awards
Your child will gain an achievement ticket for each event in which they compete. These tickets should be pasted in their personal performance booklet. The purpose of this is to display the progress they have made in each event during the year. Further, upon competing in their first thirty (30) events and each multiple of fifty (50) events, athletes will be awarded a "merit achievement" badge which is suitable for sewing on their uniform or a tracksuit (an athlete can receive badges for 30, 50, 100, 150, 200, etc events competed).
Most Improved Awards
Your child will gain points each time they improve on their best performance in any event. At presentation day the children who have achieved the most improvement points throughout the season in their respective age groups will be awarded a Most Improved Trophy. In the event of limited numbers of athletes competing in any age group the awarding of a most improved award will be at the discretion of the Committee.
Club Captains
Two club captains will be elected and hold office for a complete season. Club Captains will be appointed by vote and commence office immediately. Elections will be held during the first month of competition. Nominations for the position of club captain, Boy and Girl, will each be taken from the U13 and above age group with voting to be done by a show of hands from the U11 age group and above.
Weston Creek Little Athletics Centre Records
The following are the best performances recorded by Weston Creek athletes at the Centre Championships, the ACTLAA Regional Carnival, the ACTLAA Championships or the Australian Teams Championships since the 1979-80 season. The information is updated at the end of each season. Times recorded by hand-held stopwatches are always rounded up to the nearest tenth of a second. Where a time is shown to the hundredth of a second it was electronically recorded, and will be shown as an equal Centre record if it is within 0.24 seconds of a hand-held record because of the average discrepancy between the hand-held and electronic timing systems.
Records in italics are for events which are no longer contested or for which event specifications are no longer current.
