Hi Everyone,
Please see the important message below from the WCBA.
The attachment may not come through here for you but can be found on our website under Policies.
It’s crucial that all players/parents/spectators/coaches/team managers/club officials are aware they have agreed to these by signing up for the season.
Madonna (and the Committee)

Good Morning,
Over the last couple of weeks there has been an increased number of complaints around the behaviour of coaches and spectators during a game. The negative behaviour from coaches and spectators is unacceptable.
Coaches, players, and spectators need to maintain a positive attitude and don’t make negative comments towards anyone. Cheer for your team without resorting to negative or offensive comments towards the opposing team or their spectators.
Players, coaches, and spectators need to support the officials on game day. While you may not agree with the referees’ decisions, maintain respect for their role in the game. Remember “NO REF NO PLAY!” Respect the Refs on game day.
Whilst Players must follow the codes of conduct on game day, we believe people forget that Parents, coaches, and spectators also need to follow the codes of conduct on game day. Please see attached a copy of the BV codes of conduct.
Could every club please remind their coaches and Spectators to be conscious of the codes of conduct?
Remember a positive and supportive atmosphere enhances the experience for everyone including the players, coaches, spectators, and Referees.

Kind Regards,
Rebecca Roberts (WCBA Admin)
