Rules of conduct for parents in sport

Being a parent or guardian in sport deals with being a good supporter of your child and being conscious of your role and contribution in the sport.  The joy of sport for all involves being conscious of your role as an adult and as a role model for children. These 19 rules of conduct are designed to offer guidance about the type of sports parents we want in sport.

1. Appreciate the fact that the club provides activities for your child and other children in the local area.

2. The joy of sport is the joy of being active. This is the most important thing we can develop and do with our children.

3. Be a positive contributor for your child, the club and the sport in general. Remember you are also part of the club.
