As a parent you must meet the following requirements in regard to your conduct during an event organised by the club.

  • If your child is interested, encourage them to participate in the appropriate football or netball activity. However, if your child is not willing to participate, do not force her or him. Remember, children are involved in organised activity for their enjoyment, not yours.
  • Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather than the overall outcome of the event. This approach assists your child in setting realistic goals related to his ability by reducing the emphasis on winning
  • Teach your child that an honest effort is as important as victory so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment
  • Encourage your child to always play according to the rules
  • Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game
  • Remember that children learn best from example. Applaud good play by all players even the opposition team
  • If you disagree with an umpire or coach, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than question their judgement and honesty in public.
  • Seek out the team manager, coach or the junior coordinator to raise your concerns
  • Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse
  • Encourage your child by praising then when they do something well – try to avoid singling out negative issues or performance if possible
  • Recognise and respect the value and importance of volunteer administrators, coaches and umpires. They give their time and resources to provide recreational activities for players and deserve your support
  • Be a model of good sports behaviour for children to copy
  • Support the use of age appropriate development activities and modified rules
