• 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;
