Club code of conduct

​

​

In addition to Netball Australia's General Code of Behaviour, it is the Club responsibility for the correct and appropriate management of our coaches, team managers, officials, players and supporters. Our administrators are responsible for reinforcing the concepts of responsibility, trust, competence, respect, safety, honesty, fairness, professionalism, equity and sportsmanship within the Club to promote a positive image within the Association. The TorosNetball Club Inc endeavors to teach and support our players not only on the courts but also in their daily lives. To do this we need to be committed to modelling the types of behaviour and qualities we promote.

Players, spectators and officials should ensure that both on and off field behaviour is consistent with the principles of good sportsmanship. Therefore:

 

Integrity & Respect

• Swearing or abuse by club officials, players or spectators is not permissible at any time.

• Disputing umpire's decisions or behaving in an aggressive manner toward them is unacceptable. If there is a genuine concern, there are appropriate channels of communication in place, speak to your team manager, coach or captain to address any concerns.

• Aggressive behaviour and abuse toward opposition players, coaches, club officials or spectators is unacceptable.

• Ensure you are aware of your obligations to provide a child safe environment.  This includes risk management, child safe policy, appropriate screening of staff/volunteers and mandatory notification obligations of certain people in the organization.

• Direct coaches and officials to highlight appropriate behaviour and skill development.

• Ensure that everyone emphasises fair play, not winning at all costs.

• Remember, you set an example - your behaviour and comments should be positive and supportive.

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

• Promote a culturally tolerant environment.

 

Our club is affiliated with the Southern Districts Netball Association (SDNA) and endeavor to abide by their Policies & Procedures as stated in the SDNA Manual and the Netball WA Member Protection Policy and are to be used in conjunction with these guidelines.
