Code of Conduct for Central Venue Leagues

Players:
• To wear the appropriate kit (including safety equipment. Shin pads MUST be worn for football.  Gum shields may be worn in Tag rugby but this only a recommendation )
• To wear appropriate footwear – daps are not suitable
• To support your team mates at all times
• Treat opponents with respect and shake hands and do three cheers at the end of every match
• Captain or team representative to thank the umpires/referees after each game
• Not to question the decision of the referee or umpire

Parents:
• Encourage fair play at all times
• Applaud both the opposition and your own team
• Respect the fact that the referee/umpire’s decision is final and is not to be questioned. Discuss any complaints with the teacher in charge who will then consult the tournament organiser NOT the referee/umpire themselves
• Keep comments positive at all times, especially regarding young leaders umpiring/refereeing - they hear most comments from the sideline even if it is not directed at them.
• Never use foul language
• Please don’t coach from the sidelines – positive encouragement works better – leave the teacher/coach to do the coaching

Staff:
• To let Alison Slater know as soon as possible if you cannot attend a league game
• To distribute the code of conduct to all parents
• To come prepared to umpire/referee if necessary
• To feedback comments from parents and staff to event organiser
• To explain to parents that these leagues are about children ENJOYING playing some sport. It is not about WIN AT ALL COSTS
• To keep coaching to a minimum from the sidelines
• To liaise with the league organiser if there are any issues
• To keep all feedback positive and towards both teams
