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.
