Code of Conduct

NNZ PARENTS AND SPECTATORS CODE OF CONDUCT & ETHICS

As a parent/guardian and spectator of netball or netball related activities held by or under the auspices of NNZ,a Regional Entity or a Netball Centre you are encouraged to meet the following requirements in regard to your conduct during any such activity or event:

1. Support the removal of verbal and physical abuse from the game.
2. If you disagree with an official, raise the issue via appropriate channels rather than question the official’s judgement and honesty in public.
3. Teach players that effort is as important as victory, so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.
4. If players are interested, encourage and support them to play. Avoid forcing players to play if reluctant.
5. Players learn by taking risks and making mistakes, encourage and support this.
6. Remember players are involved in netball for their enjoyment not yours.
7. Recognise and value the importance of coaches and other volunteers who give their time and resources to provide netball - they deserve your support.
8. Applaud good play by players on both teams.
9. Encourage players to play to the rules of the game and respect umpires’ decisions.

Sunnyhills Netball Club really promotes this code of conduct and ethics especially on the sideline.

All coaches,managers and umpires do this job voluntarily and yes it can be hard so we really appreciate your support in this!!
