Honour the sport
-
Act within the rules and spirit of your sport & promote fair play over winning.
-
Show respect and courtesy to all involved with the sport and respect the decisions of officials, coaches and administrators.
-
Never argue with an official - if you need clarification, have your captain, coach or manager approach the official during a break or after the competition.

Be a good sport - applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition.
Integrity & Respect
-
Show respect to and acknowledge opponents and officials (e.g. shake hands before and after the game and say things like ‘good luck’, ‘thanks for the game’, ‘thanks umpire’, ‘three cheers for …’).
-
Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents - without them there would be no competition.
-
Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit - not just to please parents, coaches or other people.
