Committee
‘Codes of Conduct’ ensure that everyone is aware of the standards of good sporting behaviour, and encourages all participants to adopt behaviours that reflect the key principles of cricket and sporting enjoyment. They are closely tied to the game’s traditions, values and etiquette and through that to the ‘Spirit of Cricket’. Abiding by these Codes will help ensure that participants, and particularly children, will enjoy a positive cricket experience and helps promote their continued involvement in the game throughout their lives. They provide practical and commonsense guidelines that govern how the game should be played; how players should relate to each other, the opposition and officials; and how parents, teachers and coaches should interact and lead by example as role models in their involvement with youngsters.
