Code of conduct

We want to empower our players to conduct themselves with a sense of personal integrity based on the acceptance of rules, fairness, equality, respect for others and a sense of what is right; where unethical behaviour, rule breaking, drug taking, or violence is automatically rejected as being irrelevant to the true purpose of Netball.

• Respect the rules of my club, the league, those of the facilities and Netball Scotland

• Always strive to show the best of myself and refrain from inappropriate conduct towards others including physical, verbal, written or emotional, in person or through use of social media
• Be a positive role model and refrain from bullying and getting involved in inappropriate peer pressure and push others into something they do not want to do

• Wear suitable kit
• Not smoke, consume alcohol or drugs of any kind
• Abide by Netball Scotland’s Communications Policy
• Report inappropriate behaviour or risky situations to a senior member of the club or committee member.
