If you disagree with a coach, raise the issue via appropriate channels rather than question their judgement and honesty in public i.e., courtside on game day.

Any reported incidents of bullying or other antisocial behaviours within our club will be investigated by members of our management committee and appropriate actions or punishments taken which could involve stand down from games or termination of membership.

We do not investigate, pass judgment or punish our members or supporters on alleged incidents outside of our organisation such as their home, workplace, school or any other organisation as we are not privy to the full facts or have authority to do so.

We will support other organisations such as a school, or a parent in behaviour management on request and this will be considered on an individual basis by the management committee.

Members may be requested to undergo a police check and the result of this request will affect their membership or role within our club.
