Code of Conduct for Junior Sport

Committee

  • I will provide my WWCC and ensure that I am aware of my obligations to provide a child safe environment - this includes risk management, child safe policy, appropriate screening of staff/volunteers and mandatory notification obligations of certain people in the organisation. I will complete "Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport Induction" available on the Sport Integrity Australia e-learning hub: elearning.sportintegrity.gov.au  (NOTE: the Optional "Recruitment and Screening" course is not required)

  • I will provide opportunities for players to be involved in planning, leadership, evaluation and decision-making related to their activity.

  • I will create pathways for players to participate not just as a player but also as a coach, referee, administrator etc.

  • I will ensure that rules, equipment, length of games and training schedules are modified to suit the age, ability and maturity level of players.

  • I will ensure quality supervision and instruction for players.

  • I will remember that players participate for their enjoyment and benefit. I will not over emphasise awards.

  • I will help coaches and officials highlight appropriate behaviour and skill development, and help to improve the standards of coaching and officiating.

  • I will ensure that everyone involved in sport emphasizes fair play, and not winning at all costs.

  • I will distribute a code of conduct to players, coaches, officials and parents and encourage them to follow it.

  • I will not arrive at the venue intoxicated or drink alcohol at junior matches.

  • I will not allow the unlawful supply of alcohol at training, games or club functions.
