	4.	Never ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or losing a competition
	5.	Turn defeat into victory by emphasizing the value of honest effort, skill improvement and fair play.
	6.	As spectators, applaud all good plays, both your team and your opponents.

	8.	Support all efforts to remove violence from children's sport.

PLAYER
	1.	Play for your own enjoyment, not just to please your parents, teachers or coaches.
	2.	Control your temper-fighting and "mouthing off" as this spoils the game for everybody.
	3.	Cooperate with your teammates and opponents for without them you don't have a game.
	4.	Play by the rules.
	5.	Work equally hard for yourself and your team. Your team's performance will benefit and so will your own.
	6.	Winning is only part of it. Having fun, improving skills, making friends and doing your best, are also important.
	7.	Cheer all good plays, both your teams and the opponents.
	8.	Remember that coaches and officials are there to help you.
	9.	Referee abuse is not acceptable behaviour
