Poole Town Cricket Club

Using the Code of Conduct for cricket Members and Guests, and consulting with all the junior members at the cricket club, create a specific code of conduct for the junior members relating to their time at your cricket club.  The guidance below may also help.

Poole Town Cricket Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all its members.

Poole Town Cricket Club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators and parents/carers or guardians associated with the club should, at all times, show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others.

Therefore, members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with Dave Porter, Chairman of the Junior Section of the Club or Nick Williams, Secretary of the Junior Section of the Club..

As a member of Poole Town Cricket Club you are expected to abide by the following junior code of conduct:

All members must play within the rules and respect officials and their decisions.
All members must respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
Members should keep to agreed timings for training and competitions or inform their coach or team manager if they are going to be late.
Members must wear suitable kit for training and match sessions, as agreed with the coach/team manager.  For matches players must wear a white shirt, white trousers and trainers/cricket spikes as appropriate.  For practices players should wear a white shirt, comfortable trousers and trainers.  Whenever playing cricket it is always best to wear pants rather than boxer shorts (the latter tends not to hold the protective box in the correct position).
Members must pay the appropriate junior club membership either by standing order or in one lump sum..
Junior members are not allowed to smoke on club premises or whilst representing the club at competitions.
Junior members are not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs of any kind on the club premises or whilst representing the club.
