CODE OF CONDUCT

PLAYERS' CODE OF CONDUCT

I hereby pledge to be positive about this BATTLE experience and accept responsibility for my participation by following the Players' Code of Conduct

Play by the rules of the game
Be a good sport (win or lose).
Be honest, fair, and always show good sportsmanship to the other players, officials, parents, and fans
Control your temper – verbal abuse of any kind will not be tolerated (please read rules of the game)
Show courtesy and respect to everyone around you. Everyone is around to enjoy the GK BATTLE.
Play for your own enjoyment and to improve your skills.
I will not engage in unsportsmanlike conduct and in rude behaviour.
I will treat everyone, including parents, players, and officials with respect, regardless of race, creed, colour, nationality, or gender.

Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game
Remember that enjoyment is more important than winning.
Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support and not downgrade.
Lead by examples
Lead by example and respect all players, officials and spectators – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.
Recognize all volunteers who are giving up their valuable time.
Never publicly criticize officials – they are volunteering
Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your family and yourself, if you do – & many such comments are actually now illegal.

By registering you or your child with the BATTLE OF THE KEEPERS OR BATTLE OF THE PENALTIES you agree to abide by these principles.
