Codes of Conduct

CODE OF CONDUCT ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNGER JUNIORS

1. Play for the fun of it, not just to please your parents or your coach.
   

2. Always play to the laws of the game and even more importantly to the spirit.
   

3. Always accept the umpires' decisions without question and never show dissent either on the field of play or off it.
   

4. Always control your temper and don't engage in cheating, intimidation, sledging or any acts of gamesmanship such as over-appealing or over-applauding.
   

5. Remember that cricket is a team game and work equally hard for your teammates and yourself. Don't try to do everything yourself and encourage and support your fellows, particularly your captain, in all their efforts.
   

6. Always be sporting and respect the opposition. Applaud their good play sincerely, compliment them on it, and chat with them afterwards.
   

7. Remember that behaviour off the field is as important as behaviour on. Always be polite and friendly and make a point of thanking those involved in making the game possible: the umpires and scorers, the groundsman, those responsible for transport, and your manager and coach. Leave the changing rooms as tidy as you found them (or tidier!).
   

8. Always co-operate with your team manager or coach. Treat them with respect, listen hard and follow their guidelines and rules. Don't let them down at the last minute and take your practices as seriously as matches.
   

9. Be loyal to your school and your club. Try to help actively and willingly in all the chores connected with the game. Remember that in term time your first commitment is to your school but your club puts a lot of time and money into giving you opportunities and deserves your support over the years, not just a glory season.
   

10. Remember that you depend heavily on your parents' help and support and behave accordingly. Be helpful at home and make sure you keep up with all your commitments, such as homework.
