PARENTS’ CODE OF BEHAVIOUR

 

• Remember that children play the sport for their enjoyment, and not yours;

 

• Encourage all children to participate, do not force them;

 

• Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than the result of the activity (that is, winning or losing);

 

• Encourage children to always participate according to the rules;

 

• Never ridicule, yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game;

 

• Remember that children learn best by example, so applaud good play by both teams;

 

• Support all efforts to remove racial and religious vilification, verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities;

 

• Respect the match official’s decisions and teach your child to do likewise;

 

• Show respect and appreciation to Club officials, including coaches, officials and administrators. Ensure any issues are raised through the correct channels;

 

• Do not smoke or consume alcohol near the team bench (Technical Area) or sideline.
