Code of Conduct - Parents & Carers

 
  • Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours;
  • Encourage children to participate, do not force them;
  • Focus on your child's efforts and performance rather than whether they win or lose;
  • Encourage children to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence;
  • Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition;
  • Remember that children learn best by example. Appreciate good performance and skilful plays by all participants;
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities;
  • Respect officials' decisions and teach children to do likewise;
  • Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators. Without them, your child could not participate;
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion;
I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club or competition administrator. I may:
  • Be required to apologise to other parents, the other team and the referee;
  • Receive a formal warning from the club committee;
  • Be suspended from attending matches;
  • My child's registration may be cancelled.
