I will:
· Not force an unwilling child to participate in sport.
· Encourage my child to play by the rules and to respect the opposition and match officials
· Teach my child that honest effort is as important as victory, so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment
· Not criticise or shout at any child for making a mistake or losing a game
· Applaud good play and effort by both teams
· Accept the judgement and decisions of the referee and other match officials without dissent
· Accept that abusing or criticising match officials may result in disciplinary action towards me
· Not engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour
· Support efforts to remove all forms of abuse from youth sport
· Avoid giving technical instruction to any player, or players, during training or matches: this is the coach’s role and it is well-known that too much advice can be detrimental to performance and enjoyment
· Recognise the value and importance of volunteer coaches. They give up their time and resources to provide recreational activities for my child
· Not publicly question or argue with managers and coaches
· Raise any issues or questions with the manager or a committee member in the appropriate manner following club procedures
· During matches, remain outside the field of play and within the Designated Spectator Area (where provided)
· Ensure that my child is provided with the correct equipment and that fees are paid regularly and on time
· Remember that children play for FUN – theirs, not mine
