The code is intended to assist everyone to obtain the maximum benefit and enjoyment from their involvement in basketball:

Play by the Rules

You will not argue or remonstrate with referees in any way during a game. You will be immediately substituted from the game if you do so.

If you have a problem, tell your coach. The coach may then bring this to the attention of the referees.

You will support your team at all times, whether you are on the court or on the bench, both verbally and with correct body language.

Control your temper

Verbal abuse of officials or other players, violence, dangerous play or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted 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.  Applaud all good plays whether they be by your team or the opposition.

Treat all players as you would like to be treated.

Do not interfere with, be violent to, bully or take unfair advantage of another player.

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

Play for the fun of it, and not just to please parents and coaches.

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