Play equally hard for yourself and your team.  Your team's performance will benefit and so will you:

  • Treat players as you would like to be treated

  • Control your temper, any verbal abuse or deliberate contact.  Abusive behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
  • Play according to the rules of netball and the principals of fair-play.
  • Never argue with an umpire.  Their decisions are final.  If you have any concerns about an umpire talk to your coach and follow the correct procedure.

If you have any queries or problems these should be rasied with your coach at practices.  If you feel you cannot raise your queries or problems with your coach you can contact your team captain or a member of the Committee.
