CODES OF BEHAVIOUR
Codes of Behaviour
For : Players ~ Parents ~ Spectators
KSLC PRINCIPLES AND VALUES
We aim to provide a healthy and social opportunity for large numbers of participants to take part in a wide range of sporting activities.
We seek to promote skill development, teamwork and leadership through coaching by those who are equipped with the necessary skills and experience to work effectively with young people. We encourage young people attending the Centre to pursue excellence in sport and other activities where they possess particular talent.
The encouragement of skill development and the pursuit of excellence should never be at the expense of fair play, good sportsmanship and friendly rivalry and KSLC has developed these Codes of Behavior to provide guidance for all people who have an involvement in KSLC activities. We hope that these codes will encourage teachers, coaches, parents, officials and players to contribute to the development of a healthy, enjoyable and safe environment for all KSLC sport and other activities.
Participants Code of Behavior
All players are requested to:
- Play by the rules and accept the officials’ decisions.
- Display good sportsmanship and fair play at all times.
- Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please your parents or Trainers.
- Take pride in the improvement of your skills and your performance and remember that sport is not just about winning.
- Work equally hard for the benefit of yourself & your team.
- Treat your opponents as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take advantage of another competitor.
- Co-operate with your Trainer, team mates, opponents and officials. Without them there would be no competition.
- Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their ability, cultural background or religion.
- Remember that verbal abuse of officials or other players is not acceptable behavior.
Parents and Spectators Code of Behavior
KSLC encourages & welcomes the involvement and support of parents and spectators
Parents and Spectators are requested to:
- Encourage your child to always play by the rules. The good example you set by respecting the decisions of officials can do much to support this.
- Develop in your child a commitment to honest effort in order to improve his skills and his personal performance.
- Instill in your child the ability to accept losses and setbacks without undue disappointment.
- Develop in your child an appreciation and respect for fair play.
- Applaud good play by your child’s team and by members of the opposing team.
- Acknowledge the important role played by your child’s coach and give him your full support.
- Remember that the competitive games your child plays are primarily organised for his/her benefit and enjoyment, not yours.
- Please note that the use of bad language and the harassment of players or officials has no place in KSLC and will result in being ejected from the premises and possible Membership suspension.
