Kia Ora Netball Club goals, expectations and some friendly reminders:

• Play for the FUN! of it, not just to win
• Treat all players as you would like to be treated
• Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials or other players, deliberately fouling or provoking an opponent is not acceptable or permitted in any sport
• Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your captain or coach approach the official during half time
• Remember that umpires are people too and work hard to give everyone a fair game. YOU too will have your turn at umpiring
• Be a good sport. Cheer all good plays whether they are by your team or the opposition
• Co-operate with your umpires, captain, team-mates and opponents. Without them there wouldn’t be a game.
• Communicate with your Coach or Team Manager:

(a)  Let them know if there is anything you specifically want to learn.

(b)  Advise the coach at the beginning of the season if you will be away for any games.

(c)  Give them feedback on their coaching and they will give feedback on your game.

(d)  Endeavour to attend all training sessions.

• Communicate with your Captain:

(a)  Let the captain know if you are not going to make it to training by at least midday on the day of training if not sooner.
