Suburbs Rugby Netball Club

'Code of Conduct'

This Code of Conduct is written to ensure all club members are aware of Suburbs Rugby Netball’s expectations of them.  We are committed to providing an inviting club where families, young and old, can enjoy and be challenged in netball and encourage the next generation to love it also! We need everyone to play their part for this to happen.

All language is to be of a positive and encouraging nature when at the netball courts and clubrooms.

Play equally hard for yourself and your team. Your team’s performance will benefit as will yours.

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

Control your temper, any verbal abuse or deliberate contact. Abusive behaviour is unacceptable. 

Play according to the rules of netball and the principles of fairplay. 

Be a good sport, cheer all good play from both your team and the opposition. 

Appreciate and co-operate with your coach, manager, teammates and officials. There would be no game without them. 

Take responsibility for your performance on and off the court.

Never argue with an umpire. If you are concerned, talk to your coach or captain and if there are any concerns, send a representative to the office during the game.

Your netball uniform must be worn tidily and correctly at all times.

Any non-uniform item is not to be worn unless it is an approved item. Eg: Black long top.

All netball uniforms must be returned on the last game of the season in good condition.  You will accept responsibility for paying for your uniform if it is lost or is in a poor condition on returning. 

Any concerns or complaints regarding players, coaches, managers, committee members, other teams, or the Christchurch Netball Centre/Christchurch Men’s and Mixed Netball Association should be firstly taken up with the person concerned.  If an agreement is not reached, the Captain, Coach or Club Captain should be approached to help resolve the matter.  If it is still not resolved, a letter of complaint should be forwarded to the Suburbs Rugby Netball President or Secretary, who will take the appropriate actions and follow up with a written reply.

As members of Suburbs Rugby Netball Club we are expected to project a positive view of our club in any discussions with others.

Look after and respect the Suburbs Rugby Netball Clubrooms.  Help to clean up if necessary at club events.

Behaviour that reflects badly on Suburbs Rugby Netball Club will not be tolerated.
