We ask you to help your children enjoy their cricket by adhering to the following guidelines:
- Encourage your child to learn the rules and play within them.
- Help to set a good example by recognising fair play and applauding the good performances of all – especially the opposition.
- Help your child to recognise good performance, not just results.
- Discourage unfair play and arguing with officials – please draw their attention to the players' code of conduct.
- Never punish or belittle a child for losing or making mistakes.
- Use correct and proper language at all times.
- Publicly accept officials' judgements.
- Support your child's involvement and help them to enjoy their cricket, never forcing your child to take part.
- Accept the instruction from coaches at all times.
- Ensure that your child wears the correct clothing at all times, and where necessary, the correct protective equipment when required.
- Ensure that your child looks after the equipment provided by the club.
- Inform the Junior Secretary of any relevant medical condition e.g. heart problem, asthma, etc.
- Inform the team manager if your child is unable to attend a match for which he/she has been selected in as timely manner as possible.
- Please remember that children are not mini adults.
