Coaches' Code of Ethics
7. Protect your players from any form of personal abuse
Our Code of Ethics has five points on personal abuse. Write down answers for what you think three of them may be:
- Refrain from any form of verbal, physical or emotional abuse towards your players.
- Refrain from any form of sexual or racial harassment, whether verbal or physical.
- Do not harass, abuse or discriminate against players on the basis of their sex, marital status, sexual orientation, religious or ethical beliefs, race, colour, ethnic origins, employment status, disability or distinguishing characteristics.
- Any physical contact with players should be appropriate to the situation and necessary for the player's skill development.
- Be alert to any forms of abuse directed towards players from other sources while in your care.
