PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PLAYING FOR MRBNC:
Thank you for joining Maitland Rugby Blacks Netball Club (MRBNC). As a Club we have high expectations of our Players, Parents and Supporters. It is our objective to have a fair club that encourages the growth and development of all members with appropriate attitudes and strong team spirit. In order to achieve this we require everyone to work together to adhere to the below expectations and standards of behaviour:
Behaviour:
1. Back chatting umpires: MRBNC will NOT tolerate rudeness to Umpires or Officials, from Players or anyone associated with MRBNC on the sidelines. If you have a complaint you are to talk with your Captain, Coach/Manager and they will approach the umpire during a break or after the game in an appropriate manner. If this does not resolve the issue it is to be raised with a Committee member so that appropriate action through official channels can be sought. It is up to the discretion of the Committee in accordance with Netball NSW guidelines to determine if allegations require investigation.
2. Disputes with opposition Players: are to be brought to the attention of the team Coach/Manager as soon as possible. It is the Coach/Manager’s decision to either speak to umpires, opposing coach or a MRBNC Committee member.
3. Players are not to interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of other players.
4. Players MUST abide by the MRBNC Social Media Policy and conduct themselves in a manner of upmost integrity both on and off the court. This policy can be produced at any time, upon request.
5. Players are encouraged to play for their enjoyment, not for the purpose of pleasing parents and coaches. Support Duties:
6. All Players and their supporters will be expected to participate in either Umpiring and/or Canteen duty. The committee will make available the umpiring and canteen roster for teams as assigned by the Maitland Netball Association (MNA). It is up to your Coach/Manager to assign members to these rosters.
7. Provide Assistance with Umpiring: Some senior players may be asked to assist with umpiring for our less experienced players. Coaches/managers will be expected to identify at least 4 players out of each team who can assist when required. Failure to abide by the Code of Conduct may result in a player/s being disciplined by Maitland Rugby Blacks committee. If you have concerns or a complaint you would like addressed please contact the Club’s MPIO Officer, Sam Blakemore so that the issue can be handled in the most appropriate manner. EVERY member of Maitland Rugby Blacks is required to read, sign and abide by the Player Code of Conduct, which binds them to the MRC Constitution and all associated bylaws.
