Code of conduct for parents/carers and adult members, volunteers and other supporters
As a parent/carer of a member of the Western Titans BMX Club, you are expected to abide by the following code.
I will:
- inform the coach of any specific health requirements or medical conditions of my child in advance of the coaching session by completion of a club membership form or a parental consent form
- advise the coach if my child has to leave early or is being collected by someone other than a parent/carer, giving details of the arrangement including who will be collecting my child, when and at what time
- encourage my child to learn the rules and play within them
- discourage unfair play and arguing with officials/volunteers/mentors
- help my child to recognise good performance, not just results
- set a good example by recognising fair play and applauding the good performances of all
- never punish or abuse a child for losing or making mistakes
- publicly accept officials’ judgements and teach children to do likewise
- support my child’s involvement and help him/her to enjoy his/her sport
- use correct and proper language at all times
- remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not mine
- support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities
- respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, disability, cultural background or religion
- show appreciation and respect for coaches, officials and administrators.
Remember, without them, your child could not participate
