SPECTATORS at Netball Games :)

Hi there netball families!

With our season about to begin on Saturday, I believe now is the perfect time for some important reminders about Fair Play and being a supportive spectator at the netball courts.

SPECTATORS

The children really do appreciate all the positive cheers they can get!  

·       *  Please stand well back from the side line so the umpire can move freely to control the game.

·       *  Please be tolerant of umpires. I am aware that the umpires are not always up to scratch and   may at times make decisions that you may not agree with HOWEVER they are doing the best they can. Without these umpires your child would not be able to play! So please, as parents, coaches and supporters lead by example.

·       *  Please remember that the coach instructs the team at the break times.

·       *  Please refrain from standing/leaning on the goal posts and shouting at the players. 

·       *  Please do not shoot at goals when a game is taking place.

·       *  Please choose a spot to support your child and their team and stay there rather than pace up and down the side line.

·       *  Name calling and any other ‘negative’ outbursts are not acceptable and does not represent the fair play code Waikanae School tries hard to maintain.

We have a distinctive RED uniform and are easily identified.

Please note:  Children are to be supervised at the netball courts.  If you can’t be with your child, please arrange with another adult for supervision.

If you have any problems, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
