•        Remember that children participate in sport for their enjoyment, not yours.
•        Encourage children to participate, do not force them.
•        Focus on the child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing.
•        Encourage children always to play according to the rules and to settle disagreements without resorting to hostility or violence.
•        Never resort to verbal abuse, harassing behaviour, hostility or violence against any person
•        Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
•        Remember that children learn best by example.
•        Appreciate skilful performances by all participants.
•        Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
•        Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.
