Title: Team Rules

Policy Statement:
It is required that all teams establish rules that all participants must abide by. There must always be consequences for violations, considerate of the age group of your team.

Never punish a child for something that is out of their control. For example if a player can’t drive a car then it’s not his fault he’s always late. Talk to the parent and explain the value to the player and his team-mates of being on time to prepare for the game.

Some things you may wish to include in your team rules are:
  • Attendance / punctuality
  • Arrival times
  • Team Safety – i.e. dressing room rules, throwing of slush and tape etc.
  • Parent access to change rooms, pre and post game.
  • Attitudes / Sportsmanship
Draft these rules as a collective Coaching Staff so that your staff are all agreed on the rules at the start of the season. For further information regarding Team Rules, contact your Convenor. The Convenor\Director must get a copy of these rules for approval before the coach submits them to the parents.
