Players
- Play by the rules
- Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your coach approach the referee during a break or after the game in an appropriate manner
- Control your emotions. Verbal abuse, derogatory language based on race, gender or impairment or deliberately provoking an opponent is not acceptable behaviour.
- Be a good sport. Be prepared to work equally hard for yourself and the team. Your team’s performance will benefit, so will you!
- Co-operate with your coach, team mates and officials. Respect your coach both at the game and during training. Don’t be disruptive.
- Play for the “fun of it”. Remember it is a team sport- There is no “I” in “TEAM”
- Be prepared to lose sometimes. In every game there must be a winner and a loser. Accept that sometimes you must be on the losing team. Be a fair winner and a good loser
- Advise your coach or team manager if you are unable to attend the game or training
- Remember that you are representing St.Thomas’ Basketball Club and what it stands for. It is a team sport and you make a commitment to others when you join a team!
- Be respectful of the training venue and supervisor.
