Code of conduct
Respectful community netball
The Netball Australia Code of Conduct sets expectations for respectful, fair and safe behaviour across players, coaches, officials, parents, volunteers and spectators.
KNC's poster summary highlights four simple principles: show respect, play fair, keep it safe and be a good sport. Abuse, discrimination, harassment and unsporting behaviour have no place in netball.
Club behaviour expectations
- Respect players, coaches, managers, umpires, volunteers and spectators.
- Support young officials and developing umpires.
- Raise concerns through the club instead of confronting officials directly.
- Help keep games, training and events safe for children and young people.
Photography and media
KNC uses photos and videos to celebrate players, promote programs and share community spirit. Permission can be withdrawn by contacting the club in writing, although previously published material may not always be removable.
Grievances
KNC encourages informal resolution where possible. If a concern cannot be resolved, complaints should be put in writing and sent to the Club Secretary for review.
