PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

All players will be notified of the following, and they and their parents (if applicable) agree that they will:

Understand and follow the code of conduct at all times (refer to BBNZ Fair Play Policy).
Attend every practice and competition/tournament, unless they inform the Coach or Team Manager in advance of an intended absence.
Give support and show respect to their fellow team members.
Express themselves intelligently and appropriately
Work hard at practice
Practice sportsmanship at all times. Winners don’t brag and losers don’t make excuses.
Strive to be a positive influence in the way they talk and listen to their fellow team members, parents, officials, and coaches.
Travel, eat meals, and do activities as a team – unless by prior arrangement with team management.
Not consume alcohol, take drugs or smoke while under the jurisdiction of the team management.

Also:

Any issues must be discussed first with the team manager.
All curfews set by the team manager must be observed without question.
All directives issued by the team manager and coach must be observed without question (covering such areas as the use of mobile phones, the standard of dress, meal times, rest times, cleaning of accommodation and transport).
Swearing “talking trash” derogatory remarks, on or off the court will not be accepted.
Vandalism of any type will not be tolerated and should it occur, then the player/s responsible will be required to meet repair or replacement costs.
As a general rule, players will not be released into the care of their parents until the period of the jurisdiction of team management has ended.
Accommodation and ground transport are to be maintained in a neat, tidy and clean condition.
Players must wear their seatbelts at all times while travelling in team transport.
Failure to adhere to the code may see the player being dismissed from the team and returned to their place of residence at their own cost.
Players must notify the team manager if they are under treatment for any medical condition. The team manager will provide a medical questionnaire, which must be filled in on acceptance of selection for the team.
Players who require medication should provide a typed copy of the prescription, with the generic name of the drug, and have an adequate supply of the medication for the tournament. Where appropriate, this is to be held by the team manager.
