Chorley Inferno Netball Sevens Player Code of Conduct
Thank you for being a member of Chorley Inferno, we hope that you enjoy your time with our club. We love netball and we also love to win! In order to keep building on our successes we ask each player to sign up to this code of conduct each year.
Every player should understand that they are part of a competitive club that strives to win. We aim to get the personal best out of every player and create teams of like minded and like ability. Please understand that teams are created by coaches with years of experience building teams and squads that achieve the highest standards. It is important that all players have a realistic expectation of their own abilities and also are resilient enough to cope with the pressures that competitive team sport may bring.

Your success is often dependent on how well you can cope with this and pick yourself up after disappointments. Hard work, the right attitude, a good work ethic and perseverance does pay off.

As a player for Chorley Inferno, I agree to the following Club Rules: -
- We play to win
- We must keep learning and trying to be the best version of ourselves
- Players must be affiliated with England Netball and Chorley Inferno must be their only club
- Arrive netball ready for all games and training. Hair tied back, no jewellery, short fingernails and in netball trainers. We recommend Asics, Nike and Mizuno
- Warm up properly before the start of games. This helps prevent injuries
- Never argue with umpires and match officials. If you would like to question something or require clarification on something please do this through your coach or team captain
- Always play by the rules
- Never show disrespect or be rude or confrontational with another player, coach umpire or spectator
- Respect your opponents, treat everyone with the same respect you would expect from them
- Understand that you are part of a club and a squad. You may not always get to play the position you want, the game you want or with the team you want. We will develop you to try to reach your full potential but, you have to trust our decisions and respect the decisions of the coaching team
- Be polite and respectful at all times. This includes team mates, parents, players, coaches, officials and opponents. Negative comments and attitude will not be tolerated
- Show good sportsmanship, always give three cheers and shake hands at the end of the game. Celebrate the success of others
- Full kit must always be worn at matches, no exceptions
- Attend a minimum of 70% of games and training. Any less than this will mean you could be signposted to another club. For performance teams this must be over 80%
- All phones must be on silent and in jackets or bags. Phones must not be visible or in use during games or training. Any phones seen will be confiscated until a parent collects it
- Be mindful of social media use. Do not comment or share things that you wouldn’t want your coach or parent to see. Online bullying and harassment will not be tolerated. Don’t forget you are a representative of the club at all times
