Code of Conduct For Parents, Carers & Supporters

Rudgwick Netball Club is a participation club. We believe in providing opportunities for children of all abilities to train and compete at their own level, and to have fun playing netball. In order to support us in our aims we would ask you to read, sign and abide by the following.

As a parent, carer and supporter of Rudgwick Netball Club, I agree to support these club guidelines:

  • Do not force an unwilling child to participate in netball.

  • Remember children are involved in netball for their enjoyment not yours.

  • Encourage your children to play to the rules and not to argue with umpires or other officials.

  • Teach your child that honest effort is more important than victory so that, while a loss may be disappointing, the final
  result is not the sole consideration.

  • Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game.

  • Remember that children learn best by example. Applaud good play by your team and by members of the opposition.

  • Do not question the umpire’s decisions or honesty. Remember he/she is only human with the same feelings as you,
  and like you, can sometimes make an honest error.

  • Recognise the importance and value of coaches and officials who are all volunteers. They give their time and
  resources to provide netball for your child.
