- Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game.
- Encourage participation but do not force them.
- Teach that enjoyment is more than winning.
- Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support not downgrade.
- Lead by example and respect all players, coaches, umpires, and spectators – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.
- Recognise all volunteers who are giving up their valuable time.
- Never publicly criticise umpires – raise personal concerns with club officials in private.
- Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let your family down and yourself if you do – and many such comments are actually illegal now.
- Parents must not direct any complaints directly to the Coach (particularly directly after a game). The complaint must be brought to the attention of the Team Manager in the first instance. If the issue cannot be resolved by the Team Manager, and the Coach, then it will be directed to the Football Manager to address. If the complaint cannot be resolved by the Football Manager it will be brought to the attention of the Committee to address.
By registering our child with the Parade/St Damians JFC we agree to abide by these principles. We support the Club in its undertakings and encourage the Club to take any necessary disciplinary actions including the suspension and banning where warranted of any players, parents or spectators for repeated or serious breaches of these Codes of Conduct.
