CODES OF CONDUCT

OFFICIALS

Modify rules and regulations to match the skill levels and needs of players.
Compliment and encourage all participants.
Be consistent, objective and courteous when making decisions.
Condemn unsporting behaviour and promote respect for all opponents.
Emphasise the spirit of the game rather than the errors.
Encourage and promote rule changes, which will make participation more enjoyable.
Be a good sport yourself. Actions speak louder than words.
Keep up to date with the latest trends in officiating and the principles of growth and development of players.
Remember, you set an example. Your behaviour and comments should be positive and supportive.
Place the safety and welfare of the participants above all else.
Give all players a “fair go” regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

COACHES

Be reasonable in your demands on the young player’s time, energy and enthusiasm. Remember that they have other interests.
Teach your players that rules of the game are mutual agreements which no one should evade or break.
Group players according to age, height, skill and physical maturity wherever possible.
Avoid over playing the talented players. The “just average” players need and deserve equal time.
Remember that children play for fun and enjoyment and that winning is only part of it. Never ridicule or yell at the children for making mistakes or losing a competition.
Ensure the equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of the players.
The scheduling and length of practice times and competition should take into consideration the maturity level of the children.
Develop team respect for the ability of opponents, as well as for the judgement of official and opposing coaches.
Follow the advice of a physician when determining when an injured player is ready to play again.
Remember that children need a coach they can respect. Be generous with your praise when it is deserved and set a good example.
Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed on sound coaching principles and the principles of growth and development of children.

PLAYERS

Play by the rules.
Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your Captain, Coach or Manager Approach the official during a break or after the competition.
Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours 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 are made by your team or the opposition.
Treat all participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.
Co-operate with your Coach, team-mates and opponents. Without them there would be no competition.
Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, 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.

PARENTS/SUPPORTERS

Remember that players participate in sport for their enjoyment and benefit, not yours.
Focus on the players’ efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.
Encourage players always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence.
Never ridicule or yell at a player for making a mistake or losing a competition.
Remember that players learn best by example.
Appreciate good performances and skilful plays by all participants.
Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
Respect officials’ decisions and teach players to do likewise.
Show appreciation for coaches, officials and administrators. Without them, the players could not participate.
Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
Acknowledge that the officials’ decisions are made for the team. I agree not to interfere.
