Lets Kids Be Kids
Last year Hamersley signed up to the Play by the Rules Let Kids Be Kids campaign, in support of stopping poor sideline behaviour. As a club, we mostly have excellent sideline behaviour, however as the pointy end of the season approaches tension can rise, so it is imperative poor sideline behaviour does not creep in.
At Hamersley, we expect our sidelines to be positive and to reward great skill or effort with a “Well Done” or a “Good Job” cheer. You must leave coaching comments and player feedback to the team coach. Also, comments relating to the umpiring are not acceptable. If things on the court aren’t going as well as you’d like, a “Go Hamersley” cheer is recommended or to keep quiet.
Tips for Players Tips for Parents Tips for Coaches
It’s important for our sideline supporters to model excellent sideline behaviours, and for us to hold each other accountable for any behaviours that aren’t appropriate.
Let’s keep up the great work and ensure that leading into finals our club has an excellent sideline culture!
