CODE OF CONDUCT

STL LOGO .png

The club operates on the basis of voluntary effort - this is most obvious in the case of team mentors/coaches. All mentors/coaches, juvenile members and their parents/ guardians are expected to abide by the code of conduct set out below. We also ask for adherence to standards of behaviour which reflect a positive image of the club, and which are consistent with our emphasis on enjoyment and personal development.

For EVERYONE (Players, mentors, parents, spectators)

No abusive language or behaviour towards any of the following:

  • St. Laurences players (your own team mates, children and friends)

  • Opposition players

  • Spectators or coaches

  • Referees

Place yourself particularly in the shoes of a child who is the recipient of bad

language, aggressive threats or correction, taunting about aspects of his / her

physique. This is unacceptable and unfair.

For Parents

  • Ensure children arrive punctually for sessions / games

  • Ensure children have the proper equipment

  • Ensure that pick-up arrangements are clear and that pick ups are punctual

  • Impress upon children never to leave the training area or field

  • without informing the trainer

  • Positive encouragement at all times

  • Inform team mentors if for any reason your child cannot attend a game

For the Players

  • Arrive on time

  • Co-operate with the team manager / trainer. When asked to do

  • something - do it.

  • No bad language

  • No gangs and no bullying or teasing

  • Help with preparation for training /games and with the tidy-up

  • afterwards

  • Make sure you have the correct gear

For the Coaches / Trainers

  • Respect the dignity, self-esteem and rights of all the children

  • Be punctual and organised for sessions / games

  • All children to be involved in training and games

  • Positive encouragement at all times
