This is so disappointing to hear. We support Waverley in stamping out unacceptable behaviour everywhere around the netball courts. #respectSince the start of the year, the association has received many complaints regarding the comments from parents and spectators on the sidelines and from the opposition teams.
"The players on the court are the ones mostly making these complaints"
💙Everyone has a right to play in a safe environment.💙
Just because you don't direct it at a player or umpire, doesn't mean it won't be heard and that it is ok!
A REMINDER THAT THE CODE OF CONDUCT SAYS:
🚩 Applaud good performance and efforts by all players. When watching a game congratulate both teams on their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.
🚩 Respect the umpires and coaches’ decisions. If there is a disagreement, follow the appropriate procedure to question the decision and teach children to do likewise.
The correct procedure for a complaint is to start by having a team official approach an Association Supervisor.
It is not appropriate to deal with this yourself directly with the opposition coach or player, or the umpire. See a Supervisor or Reception staff who will find one for you.
