It is the club members/coaches and athletes responsibility when arriving at the track area to OBSERVE what other track users are doing. DISCUSS with them their usage and CO-OPERATE with them to ensure agreed usage before commencing the session.

The track is for the benefit of all club members/coaches and athletes and it is expected that they will observe these guidelines to ensure that the track is maintained and enjoyed by everyone.

1. Don’t use headphones or mobile phones on the track or infield. This is potentially dangerous and may stop you from hearing other track users.
2. Be polite and respectful to other athletes and coaches.
3. Eating and drinking is not permitted within the track area (outdoor track or indoor centre) with the exception of bottled water which must be retained within a sealed plastic container.
4. Please do not leave your litter for others to clear up.
5. Do not spit or clear your nose whilst using the track.
6. Large training groups should split into smaller groups so they do not take up large areas of the track where other users may wish to train.
7. Always run in an anti-clockwise direction. Some training sessions contain back to back sprint elements; this will be the responsibility of the coach to control.
8. If the track is not busy, it is usually acceptable to do warm-up drills in the outside lanes. Often this
