Code of Conduct - Parents/Guardians


Futureprint has Codes of Conduct across the sport which is driven by its’ core values of leadership, integrity, teamwork and excellence. Our codes require the highest standards of conduct from everyone involved in netball to ensure that their behaviour and actions meet the values and standards expected of them at all times. The enjoyment and safety of your child when they are involved in a netball activity is of paramount importance to Futureprint. Every child will be encouraged and asked to ensure that their behaviour and actions meet the values and standards expected of them at all times. As parents/carers, you are also asked to support our Codes of Conduct and embrace the spirit of our game.
 
 
 As a Parent/Guardian I will:
•   encourage my child to play within the rules and respect officials’ and coaches’       
     decisions and never argue
•   support my child’s efforts and performance, give positive comments that motivate   
     and encourage continued effort and learning
•   understand that competition is about winning and losing so results are always
     accepted without undue disappointment
•   turn losing into winning by helping my child work towards skill improvement and
     good sportsmanship
•   remember that children learn best by example so I will applaud good plays by
     both my child’s team and their opponents
•   thank the Coaches, Officials and other volunteers who give their time 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 gender, marital status, race, colour, disability, sexuality, age, occupation,
     religion or political opinion
•   promote this code of conduct to other parents, carers and supporters
 I will not:
•   pressure my child in any way – I know that this is their sport not mine
•   use inappropriate language, harass athletes, Coaches, Officials or other
     spectators
•   criticise or ridicule my child’s performance for making a mistake or losing after the
     game
•   force my child if unwilling to participate in the sport
•   arrive at a netball activity under the influence of alcohol or drugs
•   use Social Media technology to bring the game into disrepute or make an inappropriate
     comment about an athlete, coach, official, volunteer or the NGB
