Tips for Players

I will:

• always play by the rules
• never argue with an official. If I disagree with a decision I will inform the captain, coach or manager during a break or after the competition.
• control my temper. I understand that verbal abuse of officials and other players, or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted behaviour in any sport.
• work equally hard for myself and my team
• be a good sport and applaud all good plays whether they are made by my team or the opposition
• treat all players in my sport as I like to be treated. I will not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.
• Co-operate with my coach, team mates and opponents
• display modesty in victory and graciousness in defeat
• participate for my own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents and coaches
• respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion
• thank the opposition and officials at the end of the game
• comply with anti-doping policies.

I will not:

• arrive at the venue or play sport while intoxicated
