I understand that if I do not follow the Code, I may:

  • Be asked to apologise to whoever I’ve upset

  • Receive a formal warning

  • Be dropped, substituted or suspended from training

Spectators

If we behave positively during practice and matches, our children will too. By setting a good example, we'll help build a supportive environment in which everyone can enjoy themselves.
