Code of ethics are very important to sports leaders and coaches, this is because they set out the ground rules that both should follow when conducting sessions with children as the participants. Some of the rules that should be followed are:

• The activity should be suitable for the ability, age and experience of the participants.

• The environment should help participants to feel and believe that they all have an equally important contribution to make to the activity.

• The standards of behavior of both children and sports leaders should be considered as important as sports performance.

Where possible sports leaders/coaches should avoid:

• Spending excessive amounts of time with children away from others.

• Taking sessions alone.

Sports Leaders/coaches should not:

• Use any form of corporal punishment or physical abuse on a child.

• Engage in rough physical games, sexually provocative games or allow or engage in inappropriate touching of any kind, and/or make any sexually suggestive comments about or to a child.

• Subject children to constant criticism, sarcasm, or rejection.

• Deprive children of proper supervision and safety.

Remember children in sport are entitled to:

• Be Safe.

• Participate in sport on an equal basis, appropriate to their ability and stage of development.

• Be treated with dignity, sensitivity and respect.

• Be happy, have fun and enjoy sport.

• Be listened to.
