- During normal programs athletes who arrive late for an event may only join in at the stage the event is at, ie, they are not given any turns that they have missed out on, and may not take part after a last round of attempts is completed or a final heat is called.
- Children in the U9 – 16 age groups may be eligible and are encouraged to nominate themselves to represent the Dandenong Centre in events such as State Relay Championships. In some instances it may be necessary for a selection process to take place as nomination does not automatically guarantee inclusion in a team.
Please Note: Athletes who are selected in team events may be excluded from nominating for future representation if they do not fulfill the Centre’s requirement for training and participation. For Relay Training, children are required to attend training at least once a week.
