Code of Conduct

 

·        That you will abide by the policy and guidelines of the statutory requirements of the NSW legislation in relation to child protection and BNSW’s sports rage guidelines.

·        Play by the rules

·        Never argue with an official.  If you disagree, have your captain, coach or manager approach the referee during a break or after the game in an appropriate manner.

·        Control your temper.  Verbal abuse of officials or other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in basketball.

·        Work equally hard for yourself and for your team.  Your team’s performance will benefit so will you.

·        Be a good sport.  Acknowledge all good plays whether they be your team or the other team.

·        Treat all players, as you would like to be treated.  Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another player.

·        Co-operate with your coach, team mates and opponents.  Without them there would be no competition.

·        Play for the “Fun of it” and not just to please parents and coaches.

·        Avoid use of derogatory language based of gender, race or impairment.

·        Be prepared to lose sometimes.  Everyone wins and loses at some time.  Be a fair winner and good loser.

NOTE: A player who breaches this code can be expected to be put on a player behaviour agreement, irrespective of the outcome of any other disciplinary action.
