PLAYERS CODE OF BEHAVIOR

 Play by the rules.

 Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your captain or coach approach the official during a break or after the competition.

 Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, other players or spectators is never acceptable. Deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not tolerable or permitted behaviors in any sport.

 Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team. Your team’s performance will benefit and so will you.

 Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition.

 Treat all participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.

 Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents. Without them there would be no competition.
