IPSHA sport

IPSHA sport commences on Saturday 3 May. Please check Clipboard to ensure you are aware of your daughter’s fixture for Round 1.

A quick reminder for all parents and supporters taken from the IPSHA rules.

• Focus on the efforts and performance of the children rather than the result

• Children play organised sports for fun. They are not playing for spectators’ entertainment, nor are they miniature professionals.

• Applaud good performances and efforts from each team. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.

• Respect the officials’ decision.

• Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition.

• Positive comments are motivational and encourage continued effort.

• Show respect for your team’s opponents. Without them there would be no game.

• Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials’ decisions.

• Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using foul language, or harassing players, coaches or officials.

• Comments should not interfere with the running of the game.
