 Control your temper.  Verbal abuse of officials or other players, or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent, is not acceptable or permitted in any sport.

Work equally hard for yourself and your team.  Your team’s performance will benefit, so will you. 

Be a good sport.  Applaud all good plays whether they be by your team or the opposition

Treat all players as you would like to be treated.  Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another player.

Co-operate with your coach, team-mates and  opponents. Without them there would be no   competition.

 Play for the fun of it, and not to just please parents and coaches.

  Encourage children to always participate according to the rules.

  Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game.

 Respect the officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.

 Do not complain over trivial matters, the coaches job is hard enough.

 Follow the grievance policy
