Code of Conduct
As a student of Kaipara College I will…
Always play by the rules
Never argue with an official. If I disagree with a decision I will inform the captain, coach or manager during a break or after the competition.
Control my temper. I understand that verbal abuse of officials and other players or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted behavior in any sport.
Work equally hard for myself and my team.
Be a good sport and applaud all good plays, whether they are made by my team or the opposition.
Treat all players in my sport as I like to be treated. I will not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.
Cooperate with my coach, team mates and opponents.
Display modesty in victory and graciousness in defeat.
Participate for my own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents and coaches.
Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
Thank the opposition and officials at the end of the game.
Display and represent our school PRIDE values at all times.
