Discipline
Misbehaviour and bad language will not be tolerated at any time. The Official in charge of an event can exclude an athlete from the event for misbehaviour. The Centre Manager should be advised of such action. If it is considered necessary, the Centre Manager, in consultation with the Arena Manager, may suspend the athlete from further competition for that meeting. Any further disciplinary action may be escalated to the Committee and the parents/guardians.
