PARENTS

In line with the Australian Sports Commission general guidelines of proper conduct for all team sports, below is a list of what we should all consider proper conduct by all parents.             

 

 

 

v  Encourage your children to participate for their own interest and enjoyment, not yours. 

v  Encourage children to always play by the rules. 

v  Teach children that an honest effort is always as important as victory. 

v  Focus on developing skills and playing the game.  Reduce the emphasis on winning. 

v  A child learns best by example.  Applaud good play by all teams. 

v  Do not criticise children in front of others, but reserve constructive criticism for more private moments.  

v  Accept decisions of all referees as being fair and called to the best of their ability. 

v  Set a good example by your own conduct and behaviour. 

v  Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities. 

v  Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person. 

v  Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators.

 

We suggest our members, coaches and all parents read the Basketball Victoria Code Of Conduct document:
