Spectators & parents
Code of Conduct

​

The Members, Spectator and Parent/Guardians Code of Conduct is a positive document for all spectators and families of players. It affirms their support for their Club and/or child and other players.  It aims to instill the concepts of responsibility, trust, competence, respect, safety, honesty, professionalism, equity and sportsmanship to promote a good Club image within the Association.

 

Integrity & Respect:

Remember that the players participate in sport for their own enjoyment - not yours.

• To support your child and the team during the season and encourage all players to play according to the rules - settle disagreements quickly and via the correct process without resorting to hostility or violence.

• Ensure you are aware and follow the correct processes to follow if you have an issue or complaint – do not perpetuate issues with gossip or general criticism.  If you disagree with a coach or official, raise the issue through the appropriate channel rather than question the coach or official’s judgement and honesty in public. Refer concerns about officials through the Team Manager or Coach.

• Never ridicule or yell at a player for making a mistake or not winning.

• Show appreciation for coaches, officials and administrators - remember they are volunteers.

• Applaud good performance and efforts from all individuals and teams.  Remember that people learn best from example.

• Congratulate all players regardless of the game’s outcome.

• Support all policies and practices of the Club. This includes responsible alcohol and drug use and support of ChildSafe strategies.

• To ensure children are on time for trainings and games and contact your Coach or Team Manager if your child can not make it to a training or game.

• To role model positive attitudes to all involved in trainings and games including the children, parents, coaches, referees and spectators.

• Respect officials’ decisions - encourage players to do likewise.

• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person, regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

• Recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches. They give of their time and resources to provide recreational activities for the players and deserve your support.

• Always remember 2 points:

  • Sportsmanship

  • Make it enjoyable for everyone.
