Player’s Code
Quote - “People often don’t see the true benefits of sport. A great deal of the time, the focus of attention may be on medals, trophies, championships or winning. While these are a key part, the lessons of sportsmanship, commitment and perseverance will serve athletes of any level, long after their playing days are done.” – Mark Smith former Canadian Olympic Athlete.
1. Play for the “fun of it”, not just to please your parents or coaches.
2. Play by the Rules.
3. Control your temper – no “mouthing off”, throwing equipment etc…. Never argue with the officials. Let your skip or coach ask any necessary questions.
4. Work equally hard for yourself and your team – your team’s performance will benefit and so will your own.
5. Be a good sport. Cheer all good plays, whether your team’s or your opponents’.
6. Treat all players as you yourself would like to be treated. Don’t interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of any player.
7. Remember that the goal of the game is to have fun, improve your skills and feel good. Don’t be a show off or try to get the most points.
8. Cooperate with your coach, teammates, and opponents, for without them you don’t have a game.
