CODE OF ETHICS

Players

• Play by the rules    

• Never argue with an umpire. If you disagree, have your captain, coach or manager approach the umpire during a break or after your game    

• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of umpires and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours in any sport    

• Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team. Your team’s performance will benefit, so will you    

• Be a good sport. Acknowledge all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition  

• Treat all participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor    

• Co-operate with your coach, team-mates, manager and opponents. Without them there would be no competition    

• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion

Supporters

• Never ridicule or yell at a player for making a mistake    

• Remember that people learn best by example. Appreciate good performances and skilful plays by all participants    

• Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.    

• Respect that umpires and coaches are volunteering their services, accept their decisions and encourage others to do so likewise.    

• Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, umpires and administrators. Without them there would be no organised competition    

• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion    

• Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours    

• Encourage children to participate, do not force them    

• Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather that winning or losing    

• Encourage children always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence
