Sports Code Of Conduct
How I treat Myself
· If I play below my best but try my best, I should not blame myself for a defeat. A defeat, the same as a victory, is brought about by a team.
- It is easy to be good at sport; it takes great courage to be a great sportsperson
- I will dress appropriately with correct sports gear, ready to play.
Players from opposing teams
- I will shake hands with the other team after the match
- I will treat our opponents with respect and thank them for the game
- I will not deliberately hit or trip an opponent
- I will not lose my temper
Our Own Team Coaches
- I will respect my coach/manager/rep
- I will accept the decision of the referee even if disagree
- I will not use bad language
- I will not be cheeky or back answer my own team coaches
- I will listen to and respect the coach/manager/rep when they are speaking
Supporters & Coaches of other Teams
- I will respect adults and coaches from other teams
- I will not use bad language
- I will wish them well if I meet them after a game
Fellow Players
- I will respect our fellow players and treat them as part of a team
- I understand that the team includes the players and the substitutes
- I will show loyalty to everyone on our team
- I will encourage my team-mates and support them, even when they make mistakes
- I will remember my team-mates are always trying their best
- I will remember to play as a team, not as an individual
Referees
- I will respect the referee as he/she is in charge of the match
- I will never give cheek or use bad language towards the referee
- I will remember that I can never change a referee’s decision. If I do not agree with a decision I should not give out, sulk or blame other people. Instead, I will get on with the game
- I will shake hands with the referee and thank her/him after the game.
I understand that if I wish to take part in a sports activity organized by St. John the Baptist NS, I must agree to follow the above Code of Conduct. If I do not follow this code I will not be allowed to take part in sports activities or represent the school.
