ACC Positive Sideline Supporters Campaign

The Christchurch Netball Centre and ACC are continuing the successful Positive Sideline Supporters Campaign that has been held over the past 2 years.
Premier and Senior players will be roaming the courts handing out stickers to people demonstrating the Positive Sideline Supporters message.

Everyone has a role
Coaches, players, umpires and supporters all have a role in upholding the principles of fair play and positive support.

Umpires should:

• Be trained in the game's rules and applying them fairly and consistently
• Encourage fair play
• Always be firm but friendly
• Help players to understand the rules
• Enforce disciplinary action appropriate to the level of misconduct

Players should:

• Understand the rules before starting the game
• Play fair and within the game's rules
• Respect the umpire's call by not challenging their decision
• Respect their opponents.

Coaches should:

• Emphasise the guidelines of fair play to all players
• Make sure all players know the rules
• Accept all calls by the umpire and do not trying to influence them
• Speak out against violence, poor behaviour and cheating
• Respect the officials and their decisions.

Parents/supporters should:

• Respect the umpires and their decisions
• Encourage the all players to play fair
• Support their team positively.

Good sport is about positive attitude
