If they are unable to attend for a valid reason then they must contact the coach directly via mobile at least 24 hours prior or earlier if possible. If they are sick on the day of a training or game they should contact their coach directly in the morning . Other students should not be tasked with letting the coach know you are sick. NEWLANDS COLLEGE It is not fair on the coach or other players if players do not follow these requirements. The same applies for attending games. If you know you are going to be away for a fixture please give the coach as much notice as possible. Always assume that practices and games are going ahead. Coaches will make contact with players to let them know so do not just take the word of another student. GAMEDAY APPEARANCE The school has a very proud reputation of students being well turned out for attending fixtures. When pupils come to home fixtures or travel to away games they will need to either be in uniform or - wearing the full college tracksuit/tracksuit pants and college sweatshirt. EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS 7 As part of the sports registration process students will be required to confirm their agreement to abide by the Code of Conduct which states as follows: Players will: Play to the best of their ability and within the rules of the game Show respect to other players – both team mates & opponents Accept officials’ decisions without gesture or argument Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat Support the coaches and their requests of them - Thank and acknowledge the coach, officials and opponents Be punctual to all practices and games or if unable to attend let their coach know directly at the earliest opportunity 8 CODE OF CONDUCT FOR STUDENTS Alongside the Code of Conduct for players, the college has developed a Code of Conduct for parents. As a college we actively encourage families and friends to support their students but like many schools we are concerned about some of the behaviours demonstrated on the sidelines. This Code of Conduct has been signed off by the Senior Management Team and as part of the sports registration process parents will be required to confirm their agreement to abide by the Code of Conduct NEWLANDS COLLEGE Parents will: Positively encourage and support the efforts of all players Refrain from any criticism or abuse directed at officials Put an emphasis on genuine effort ahead of victory and encourage players to accept the outcomes of all games, irrespective of the result. Recognise good play by either team and never ridicule an individual player in either team Display self-control on the side-line – remember young people play sport for their satisfaction not parents or supporters Respect the decisions made by the coaches and allow them to do - their job of coaching Help to ensure players are punctual to training and games CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS 9 As a parent or student you will hopefully enjoy the sporting experi- ence at Newlands College.
