Code of Conduct For Children

Code of conduct for children

The well-being of our young athletes at VP Glasgow is of paramount importance. One of our key aims as a club is to create an environment where young athletes have fun and maximise their potential, and the athletes themselves have an important part to play in this. As such, we ask that their behaviour - at training and in competition - is exemplary. To help us achieve this, we ask that all of our young people adhere to the following Code of Conduct.

• Treat your fellow athletes with kindness, respect and fairness.

• Support your teammates at training and events.

• Welcome new members to the club – make them feel part of the team.

• Listen to your coaches and follow their instructions.

• Take care of the club’s equipment – leave any kit you use ready for the next person and don’t use equipment you’re not supposed to use.

• Do not cheat.

• Be punctual.

• Respect competition officials.

• Let team managers know if you can’t compete or are going to be late.

• Respect athletes from other teams – you are an ambassador for our club.

• Be a good winner.

• Be a gracious loser.

• Report any inappropriate behaviour, or behaviour that makes you uncomfortable, to the club – you can tell your coach, any of the club officials or just an adult you trust.

A Grievance Procedure is in place to deal with any complaints about coaches, parents, athletes, officials or committee members.  Follow this link for more information.
