• Always play by the rules.
• Never question referees’ or assistant referees’ decisions
• Always control your temper.
• Work equally hard for both yourself and the team. In this way, your team’s performance will benefit – and so will your own.
• Be a good sport. Appreciate all good play whether by your team or your opponents.
• Treat all players as you would like to be treated – with respect. Don’t interfere with, bully, or take unfair advantage of anyone.
• Remember that the real goals of the game are to enjoy it, improve your skills and feel good – don’t show off.
• Co-operate with coaches, team mates and opponents – without them you don’t have a game!    

For Parents

• Remember that children are involved in sport for their enjoyment and benefit – not yours.
• Always encourage your child to play by the rules.
• Teach your child that losing must be accepted without undue disappointment.
• Never ridicule children for making a mistake.
• Do not coach either your child or other team members.
• Never question the officials’ judgement – nor their honesty.
• Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from the game.
• Monitor the number of games your child plays. Make sure your child has fully recovered from injury before playing again.
