Good sport is about a positive attitude

Play your part – play fair

To the best of my ability I, as a player, will:

  • Play by the rules
  • Never argue with an official
  • Work hard to do my best at all times
  • Commit to practices and turn up on time
  • Be a good sport and recognise good players and good plays by all involved
  • Learn to lose graciously, and to win with pride and grace
