                 and training sessions in which their child participates.

c)                  Be aware that the Club has a duty of care to ensure the safety of players and

                 away games.

Be involved with Club activities and share their expertise.

                                 coaching players and

                                 players to behave with dignity in all circumstances.

                 behaviour from the game.

                 the opposition.
