Parents’ Code of Behaviour

1. Encourage children to participate and have fun;
2. Focus on the child’s effort and performance rather than winning or losing;
3. Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

Remember:

• Children learn by example;
• Fair play is in the game’s best interest; applaud and encourage all game play;
• Encourage children to always participate according to the rules
• Respect and support decisions made by the match officials, coaches, club officials and administrators and instruct your children to do likewise;
• Support all efforts to remove racial vilification and any other behaviour that will degrade the game;
• Raise any issues through the correct channels: Club, FFV Tribunal and Discipline department or Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission;
• Limit alcohol consumption near the technical area or sideline;
• Smoking is banned outdoors within 10 metres of sporting venues during under 18s events.
