CODE OF CONDUCT

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.
