Skellefteå AIK Friidrott

History
The business started in 1921 as a section in Skellefteå AIK. Since 1987, Skellefteå AIK Athletics has been an independent association.
The association's statutes state that sports must develop the individual positively in physical, psychological and social terms. It is concretized in that the association has clearly stated that the activities must be conducted based on core values ​​such as community and equality and that children's and youth activities, elite sports and activities for exercise and wellness must be conducted safely and securely and that bullying, violations and abuse must be actively countered. The association distances itself from all forms of doping and carries out regular "vaccination" against doping.

Operation
We must run an equal and safe operation for children, young people, elite actives and exercisers. We want to offer everyone in the athletics family meaningful activities. The association must be free from doping and drugs. We follow the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which from 2020 is Swedish law, read more here. From 2019, we obtain register extracts of all leaders and coaches who have contact with children and young people.
Skellefteå AIK Athletics opposes all forms of bullying, harassment, abuse and sexual harassment. We use the athletics association's folder Safe Athletics Environments as a guideline in our work. For those of you who wish to read the folder, you can do so here. We also have our own action plan against bullying which you can read HERE.
The association must have a balanced economy and operations are conducted based on sustainability with mainly non-profit forces.
