Ealing Eagles requires junior club members to follow the Code of Conduct for Children and Young People as provided by England Athletics. A copy is provided below:

As a young athlete, I will respect the code of conduct and I will:
be friendly and supportive to other athletes
keep myself safe
tell my coach if I am ill or injured
report inappropriate behaviour or risky situations to an adult
compete fairly and respect other athletes and officials
respect the rules of my club

take care of equipment owned or provided by the club or training facility
not use bad language or take part in inappropriate or illegal behaviour

I recognise that I am bound by the UKA Anti-Doping Regulations, and submit to the authority of UK Anti-Doping in the application and enforcement of the Anti-Doping Rules. UK Anti-Doping Rules apply to all member participating in athletics for a minimum of 12 months from the commencement of membership whether or not the member is a citizen of, or resident in, the UK. Any athlete wishing to retire from the sport of athletics must put this in writing to the club and their Home Country Athletics Federation (Athletics Northern Ireland / England Athletics / Scottish Athletics / Welsh Athletics) and cancel any applicable membership. Official retirement will remove the athlete from being under the auspices of UKA's Anti-Doping Rules.

be asked to apologise for my behaviour
receive a verbal warning from my coach
receive a verbal or written warning from the club committee

be suspended or required to leave the club.
Additionally, my club will always tell my parents/carers if I breach the code of conduct.
