Parent & player code of conduct

Paying your registration fee includes accepting SNC's expectations for families and players. Full wording also appears on our previous code of conduct page.

Parent code of conduct

• Assist with fulfilling MWNA compulsory club duty roster in the control room or tower at least once during the season.
• Be flexible when the coach is setting training time or day and give it priority — it is a team sport.
• Support the coach; do not undermine them. They are volunteering their time for your daughter.
• Notify the manager of player sickness or times a player may be absent from training or games.
• Ensure players are on time and prepared for training and games.
• Ensure younger players have everything they need.
• Attend training to help if the coach requests it.
• Use positive encouragement.
• Teach and model good sportsmanship and behaviour.
• Be courteous in communication with volunteer administrators, coaches, and managers, as well as players and umpires. Teach children to do likewise.
• Accompany their daughters on games they are umpiring.
• Respond to emails from your coach, manager, and SNC.

Players code of conduct

All players must meet the following requirements for conduct during any activity held by SNC:

1. Participate because you enjoy it, not just to please other people.
2. Play by the rules. Know the rules.
3. Participate fairly and safely.
4. Abide by decisions, without argument or bad temper.
5. Cooperate with your coach, manager, and other players.
6. Treat all players as you would like to be treated.
7. Treat all equipment respectfully.
8. Be a patient and enthusiastic supporter of fellow players.
9. Be a responsible team member: always be on time, encourage and assist all players, attend training sessions and games, and always wear the appropriate uniform.
10. Do not engage in practices that affect sporting performance (alcohol, tobacco, and drug use).

Respect and acknowledge the contribution of those who create the opportunity for you to play — volunteers (coaches, managers, umpires, association administrators, and club officials).
