The following “Code of Conduct” outlines the Navan Curling Club’s expectations of all members. Each member should review these guidelines and abide by them at all times.
1. Always treat your teammates,
opponents and other members in the same manner that you would like to be
treated. That means respect, dignity, and total sportsmanship at all times.
2. Know the rules and abide by them.
3. Play fairly and respect your
opponents and your fellow teammates.
4. Control your behavior. Verbal,
physical, and racial abuse will not be tolerated.
5. Do not take part in any form of
bullying, either to an opposing player or to a player on your team. It is
understood that bullying in any form, whether in person or electronically (any
form of social media), will not be tolerated.
6. Be humble and generous in victory
and proud and dignified in defeat.
7. Remember that a failure by the team
is shared by all of the members and should not be blamed on individual members.
Of course, successes are always shared.
8. Have fun! Win or lose, try to enjoy
every moment.
