Players' Code of Conduct
Play by the rules and the laws of the game.
Never argue with the referee's decision.
Play for the fun of it, not just to please your parents
or coach.
Control your temper.
Work equally hard for yourself and your team, thus
your team's performance will benefit,
and so will your own.
Be a good sport. Applaud all good play, whether by
your own team or the opponents.
Treat all players as you would like to be treated.
Don't interfere with, bully or take
unfair advantage of any players.
Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun,
improve your skills and feel good.
Don't be a show off.
Parent's Code of Conduct
Do not force a child to participate in sport. Remember,
they are involved in sport for their
enjoyment, not yours.
Encourage your child to play by the rules.
Teach your child that honest effort is as important
as victory so that the result of
each game is accepted without undue
disappointment.
Turn defeat into victory by helping your child to
work towards skill improvement and
good sportsmanship. Never ridicule
or yell at your child for making a mistake or
losing a game.
Remember that children learn best by example. Applaud
good play by your team and by members
of the opposing team.
Do not question the referee's judgement or their
honesty. If you do you will be asked
to leave.
Coaches Code of Conduct
Clearly teach players the laws of the game.
In contact games, group players according to age,
height, skill and physical maturity.
Avoid overplaying talented players. "Average"
players need and deserve equal time.
Remember that children play for fun and enjoyment
and that winning is only part of
it. Always positively encourage
- Never negatively criticise.
Ensure that all equipment and facilities are appropriate
to the age and abilities of the
players.
The scheduling and length of practice times and games
should take into consideration the
child's maturity level.
Develop team respect for your opponents, as well
as for the referees. Never question
a referees judgement or honesty.
Make sure the team conduct themselves appropriately
at the end of a game, with 3 cheers
and thanking the referee.
