What happens if my child misbehaves?

 

We expect all children to behave respectfully towards coaches and fellow participants.

 

Where appropriate, behaviour issues will be managed through encouragement, clear expectations and communication with parents.

 

In rare circumstances, if a child’s behaviour places others at risk or causes ongoing disruption that significantly impacts the experience of other children, parents may be asked to collect their child early.
