Junior Football -

Code of Behaviour for Parents

Whilst football is an exciting time for all involved, emotions can become heightened. It is important that we maintain the encouraging and supportive approach to all games. We take this opportunity to remind you of some of the key principles of the Kids First program that will continue to be communicated to all Aberfeldie Junior Football teams during 2010.

The basic principles of AFL Kids First program are:

• Sport for children is a vital part of their development.

• Children like to win, but more importantly they want to have fun.

• Parents need to set the right example at the ground, not just at home.

• Parents should be proud of their child’s efforts irrespective of the result.

• Sport is important to a child’s self-esteem.

Please help make your child's footballing experience something that they will remember – for all the right reasons.
