CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS

We all bear a collective responsibility to set a good example and help provide a positive environment in which the members can learn and enjoy the sport. As a parent/carer of a member of the club, you are expected to abide by the following code:

  • Inform the coach of any specific health requirements or medical conditions of your child in advance of the coaching session through the completion of a participation/registration form or a coaching consent form
  • If your child has to leave early or is being collected by someone other than a parent/carer, the parent/carer must advise the coach of the details of the arrangement including who will be collecting your child and when
  • Encourage your child to learn the rules and play within them
  • Discourage unfair play and arguing with officials
  • Help your child to recognise good performance, not just results
  • Set a good example by recognising fair play and applauding the good performances of all
  • Never punish or belittle a child for losing or making mistakes
  • Publicly accept officials’ judgments and teach children to do likewise
  • Support your child’s involvement and help them to enjoy their sport
  • Do not engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour
  • Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion
  • Show appreciation and respect for coaches, officials and administrators. Remember, most of them do the jobs voluntarily, without them, your child could not participate.
  • Let the coaches do their job they are trained to do, do not confuse your child by telling them what they should be doing
  • The club operates a zero tolerance to any abuse to volunteers of the Club, you may be asked to leave the club and membership revoked
