By Steve Brown | Posted: Wednesday June 14, 2023

We would ask you to make yourself familiar with, and act in accordance with our Code of Conduct.

I will:

  • Encourage children to play within the rules and to respect the decisions of the referee.
  • Encourage children to respect the efforts of their opponents.
  • Remember that children learn best by example, so I will applaud good performance by both my child's team and their opponents.
  • Give positive comments that motivate and encourage continued effort.
  • Thank the coaches, officials, referees, and other volunteers who give their time to conduct the event for my child.
  • Help when asked by a coach or official.
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all people involved in the game, regardless of their gender, ability, or cultural background.
  • Show respect and act in manner befitting of the spirit of the game, upholding the values of the fair play code towards all involved in the game, including fellow parents and spectators.
  • Show respect towards all decisions made by officials.


I will not:

  • Pressure my or any child, in any way. I know that this game is their game and not mine.
  • Use offensive language.
  • Harass players, coaches, officials, or other spectators.
  • Criticise or ridicule my child's or any other child's performance after the game.
