LSB CAMPS CODE OF CONDUCT

CODE OF CONDUCT

LSB CAMPS CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS

At LSB Camps, we expect all players to uphold the values of respect, responsibility, and readiness. The following code of conduct is in place to ensure a safe, positive, and productive environment for everyone involved.

  • Arrive on time for all camp sessions, prepared and ready to work

  • Wear appropriate playing kit and come with a positive attitude

  • Listen actively to coaches and teammates at all times

  • Warm up and cool down properly before and after sessions

  • Play for enjoyment and personal development — not just to impress others

  • Learn and play by the rules of the game

  • Do not argue with coaches or officials — focus your energy on improving

  • Recognise and applaud good play — encourage your teammates

  • Be a good sport: win with humility, lose with dignity

  • Treat everyone with respect — how you would like to be treated

  • Do not use bad language or behave in a threatening or aggressive way — this will not be tolerated

  • Cooperate with coaches, teammates, and opponents at all times

  • Reflect after each session on what you've learned and how to improve

  • Inform your coach of any injury as soon as possible

  • Let your coach know if you need to leave early

  • Always thank officials, coaches, and opponents after games or sessions

  • If you need to speak to someone in confidence, please speak to your Head Coach or your parent/carer

LSB CAMPS CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS

At LSB Camps, we value the support of parents and carers in creating a positive experience for every player. We ask all parents to follow this code of conduct to help us promote respect, encouragement, and enjoyment across all sessions.

  • Remember that children participate for their own enjoyment, not yours

  • Encourage participation — never pressure your child to play or perform

  • Praise effort and attitude, regardless of the outcome

  • Applaud all good play, not just your child’s

  • Never ridicule a child for making a mistake or losing a game

  • Be a positive role model — children learn best by example

  • Learn the rules of the game to better support your child’s development

  • Show appreciation for all coaches, officials, volunteers, and helpers

  • Reject any use of bad language, aggressive behaviour, or abuse — it has no place in youth sport

  • Ask yourself how you can help coaches create the most enjoyable and supportive environment possible for all players, not just your own

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with the Head Coach or a member of staff on site. We’re here to work with you.

LSB CAMPS CODE OF CONDUCT FOR COACHES

At LSB Camps, coaches are role models and leaders. You are trusted not only to teach the game but to help shape the attitudes, values, and wellbeing of every player in your care. The following code of conduct outlines the standards all LSB coaches are expected to uphold:

  • Set a strong example through your behaviour, language, and leadership

  • Never use bad language, sarcasm, or demonstrate abusive or negative behaviour

  • Arrive early, prepared, and with sessions set up to ensure player safety and focus

  • Remember: children play for enjoyment — winning is only one part of the experience

  • Stay informed about best coaching practices and principles of child development

  • Be reasonable in your demands on time, energy, and commitment — young players need balance

  • Promote and model respect, inclusion, and fair play in every session

  • Prioritise your players’ wellbeing and development over wins or results

  • Teach that effort, honesty, and resilience matter more than outcomes

  • Never ridicule or shout at a player for making a mistake or losing

  • Ensure all players understand and follow the rules of the game

  • Give equal time and attention to players of all skill levels

  • Promote respect for opponents, officials, coaches, and supporters at all times

  • Always follow professional medical advice when determining if an injured player is fit to return

  • Take full responsibility for players in your care until they are safely signed out or collected
