Code of Conduct—Parents & Guardians

Parents and Guardians are amongst the greatest sources of influence for youth players and as such the club expects that they act in line with the guidelines below to ensure the best possible environment for young people to play basketball.

· Respect the rights, dignity and worth of others.

· Remember that your child participates in sport for their own enjoyment, not yours.

· Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.

· Never ridicule or yell at your child and other children for making a mistake or losing a competition.

· Show appreciation for good performance and skilful plays by all players (including opposing players).

· Demonstrate a high degree of individual responsibility especially when dealing with or in the vicinity of persons under 18 years of age, as your words and actions are an example.

· Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.

· Do not physically or verbally abuse or harass anyone associated with the sport (player, coach, umpire and so on).

· Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

· Be a positive role model.

· Understand the repercussions if you breach, or are aware of any breaches of, this code of conduct.

In addition, basketballscotland’s Code of Conduct applies in all basketballscotland events and competitions.
