Do not force an unwilling child to
participate in netball. |
| |
|
|
■ |
Remember children are involved in netball
for their enjoyment not yours. |
| |
|
|
■ |
Encourage your children to play to the
rules and not to argue with umpires or other officials. |
| |
|
|
■ |
Teach your child that honest effort is
more important than victory so that the result of each
game is accepted without undue disappointment. |
| |
|
|
■ |
Turn losing into winning by helping your
child work towards skill improvement and good
sportsmanship |
| |
|
|
■ |
Never ridicule or yell at a child for
making a mistake or losing a game. |

|
■ |
Remember that children learn best by
example. Applaud good play by your team and by members
of the opposition. |
| |
|
|
■ |
Do not question the umpire's decisions or
honesty. Remember he/she is only human with the same
feelings as you, and like you, can sometimes make an
honest error. |

Recognise the importance and
value of coaches who are all volunteers. They give
children their time and resources to provide netball for
your child. |
