Fair Play Policy
The Corydon Community Centre is committed to providing a Fair Play sporting environment in which all individuals involved are treated with dignity and respect. Every participant’s experience should be positive; all participants should have an opportunity to contribute and every participant should experience success. Our sports programs encourage participation in the joy of the sport and the learning of good sportsmanship.
In order to keep sport fun for all, the Fair Play policy emphasizes the following:
Athletes need to support their teammates’ efforts and to respect their coaches, the officials, and their opponents. Athletes need to harness their energy into a committed willingness to come consistently and focus and work hard in practice and games.
Families need to support their children by helping them attend a high percentage of all practices and games, and in a timely manner. They need to encourage their children and respect referees, opponent, coaches, and teammates.
Coaches must guide the young athletes in their charge to move forward in fitness, skill, and understanding of sport. Coaches must develop the players’ appreciation for teamwork and ensure that all athletes have the opportunity to contribute to their team’s performance. They need to lead the way in acting respectfully towards referees, opponents, players, and parents at all times.
The Corydon Community Centre believes in catering to the needs of all children and young people, from beginners to the most proficient. Special provisions may be required for children and young people who are disadvantaged or whose participation is limited for any reason.
The Corydon Community Centre has a zero tolerance policy regarding harassment: generally defined as comment, conduct, or gesture directed toward an individual or group of individuals, which is insulting, intimidating, humiliating, malicious, degrading, or offensive.
A successful season can be measured by the amount the athletes move forward, by the quality of their effort, by their commitment to their team, and by their joy in participating. Wins and losses fall where they may, but hopefully they’ve learned to love to be active.
Keep sport fun – it’s why we do it
