Our Commitment to Child Safety
The safety of our athletes has always been our highest priority. The following LAQ Statement of Commitment to Child Safety references the existing policies and frameworks in place across our sport.
Spike Wearing Rules
U6 to U10
- Are not allowed to wear spiked running shoes with or without blanks.

- May wear spikes in all laned track events, all jumping events, and javelin.
- Any spike shoe without spikes attached, may be worn in un-laned events.
U13 to U17
- May wear spikes in all laned and un-laned track events, (excluding walks), jumping events and javelin.
Spike safety is the responsibility of the parent and/or athlete. Every attempt must be made to limit the time athletes are wearing spikes, we recommend the following:
- Spikes to be carried to the start line at track events.
- Spikes to be removed at the finish line at track events.
- Spikes to be carried to field events and removed upon completion of the event.
