PETERBOROUGH TOWN CRICKET CLUB – Code of Conduct for Young People

The Cricket Club has set out it’s aims and objectives, together with guidance notes for members and their parents or carers.

Objectives

• To introduce young people to the game of cricket in a safe and enjoyable manner.
• To encourage all junior members to develop their potential through practice and matches.

The following statements underpin the way in which we believe junior cricket should be played

Respect   

• Respect yourself, the game, its traditions, your opponents, team mates and other club members, your family, other cultures, and the coaches.

Selflessness

• Help your team mates and fellow club members.

Fun and Enjoyment

• It is only a game, and whilst winning is great, losing is not the end of the world.  

Passion

• Love the game.

What the Cricket Club shall do

• Treat all junior members fairly and will listen to any of their concerns or complaints.
• Ensure that our senior coaches/managers have satisfactory Criminal Record Bureau checks.
• Ensure that first aid kit is available at all practice sessions and matches.
• Ensure that a mobile phone is available at all practice sessions and matches.

What is expected from junior members

• Prompt attendance at practice and matches.

• Kit and facilities to be treated with care.
• To dress appropriately for both practice sessions and matches.
