Panathlon Challenge

In consultation with schools and several partners, Panathlon has developed a Fair Play Charter. This is an important document that sets out expected behaviour both on and off the field.

As a Panathlete, I agree to:

• abide by the Panathlon Challenge rules which govern my particular sport
• abide by the referee's decision at all times and never question an official's decision, regardless of whether in my view it is right or wrong
• respect the differences of all participants regardless of their colour, ability or disability, gender, culture or background
• remind my friends, colleagues, teachers and parents that to use racist or sexist language (on or off the field of play) is now a criminal offence
•  avoid being aggressive in my actions and words and to never swear.
• avoid cheating to be successful
• be modest in both victory and defeat
• be a part of and to encourage team spirit at all times
• never jeer or boo my opponents
• encourage fair play and abide by it at all times
• be an enthusiastic spectator at all times, but continue my good sportsmanship when watching any sporting event
• encourage and support at all times those around me - especially those that may not be as good as me
• take part and enjoy my sport, to meet new friends and compete to the best of my ability without 'winning at all costs'
• be an ambassador for my school
