  • Ensure that rules, equipment, duration of games and training schedules are modified to suit ages, ability and maturity level of young people.
  • Provide quality supervision and instruction for junior players.
  • Remember at all times that young people participate for their enjoyment and benefit. Do not emphasise awards.

Ensure that everyone involved in junior sport emphasises fair play, and not winning at all cost. Give a Code of Behaviour sheet to spectators, officials, parents, coaches, players and encourage them to abide by it. Remember, you set an example. Your behaviour and comments should be positive and supportive. Support implementing the National Junior Sport Policy.
  • Make it clear that abusing young people in any way is unacceptable and will result in disciplinary action.
