CODE OF CONDUCT: EXPECTATIONS OF PLAYERS, COACHES, ADULTS AND SPECTATORS:

Remember that ALL children play sport for fun - they are not playing for your entertainment, nor are they professionals.

Encourage players to participate, do not force them.

Focus on the players’ efforts - never ridicule or yell at a player for making a mistake or losing the game.

Remember that players learn best from example. Applaud good play by both teams.

Encourage players to always participate according to the rules and respect officials decisions.

Recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches and officials.

An umpire’s job is a difficult one – put yourself in their position – how would you like to be treated?

Verbal abuse to umpires, officials or other players is not acceptable.

If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than question the officials judgement and honesty in public.

Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not harassing or using foul language to umpires, players, coaches, or other spectators.

Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.

Respect the rights and dignity of every player regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

Discuss the Codes of Conduct with Staff, Students and Guardians so that you are all aware of your obligations.

Control your temper - treat others as you would like to be treated – bullying will not be tolerated.

Co-operate, support and encourage your teammates. Your team's performance will benefit and so will you
