How Can We Help?
Players Code of Behaviour
- Play by the rules.
- Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your captain, coach or manager approach the official during a break or after the competition.
- Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, sledging other players or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours in any sport.
- Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team. Your team’s performance will benefit and so will you.
- Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether they are made by your own team or the opposition.
- Show respect to and acknowledge opponents and officials (e.g. shake hands before and after the game, thanks umpire etc).
- Treat all participants as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.
- Cooperate with your coach, team-mates, and opponents. Without them, there would be no competition.
- Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please your parents and coaches.
- Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all involved in hockey regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, race, culture, or religion.
