The good
coach will be concerned
primarily with the
well-being, health and
future of the individual
player and only
secondarily with the
optimising of
performance.
Coaches must not
encourage players to
violate the laws of the
game and should actively
seek to discourage such
action. Furthermore,
coaches should encourage
players to obey the
spirit of such laws.
Coaches must not
compromise their players
by advocating measures,
which could be deemed to
constitute seeking an
unfair advantage. (i.e.
cheating,
diving, bullying).
Coaches should treat
opponents and officials
with due respect, both
in victory and defeat
and should encourage
their players to act in
a similar manner.
Coaches must accept
responsibility for the
conduct of their players
insofar as they will
undertake to discourage
inappropriate behaviour.
Coaches must be fair to
all players and not be
concerned with personal
gain. All players
deserve their moment,
"hour" despite ability.

Practice Standards |
|
|
Coaches
are given a
position of trust
by parents/guardians and
players and are
therefore expected
to show the highest
standards of
behaviour whilst in the
company of under
age players. As a
coach of under age
players, you act in
"loco parentis" and
therefore your duty
of care is more
onerous than that of
a coach to an adult
team.
Personal appearance is a
matter of taste, but the
coach has an obligation
to project an image of
health, cleanliness and
functional efficiency.
Consumption of alcohol
before coaching, or
whilst players are
present should be
avoided. As persons
responsible for the well
being of young people it
is inappropriate to
smoke in their presence
or to behave in any
fashion inconsistent
with your position of
responsibility.
Coaches must treat
everyone equally within
the context of their
activity, regardless of
sex, ethnic origin,
religion or political
persuasion. |
