PMCJFC Parent Code of Conduct

PORT MELBOURNE COLTS JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB

Parents and supporters code of conduct

Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game

Encourage participation, but don’t force it

Teach that enjoyment is more important than winning

Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support not downgrade

Lead by example and respect all players, coaches, umpires and spectators – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated

Recognise all volunteers who are giving up their valuable time

Never publicly criticise umpires – raise personal concerns with club officials in private

Do not use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your family and yourself if you do – and many such comments are actually now illegal.

By registering their child with the SMJFL and PMCJFC parents agree to abide by these principles, and support their Club in its undertakings and authorise their club to take any necessary disciplinary actions including the suspension and banning where warranted of any players, parents and or spectators for repeated or serious breaches of these Codes of Conduct
