Ballers Sports Club Ltd - Behaviour Policy
At Ballers Sports Club Ltd, we are committed to providing a fun, safe, and respectful environment where every child can thrive, grow, and enjoy their sporting journey. To ensure that all players and coaches can have the best possible experience, we have clear expectations around behaviour, and a consistent approach to managing any issues that arise.
​
Our Values
We encourage all children to:
-
Be respectful to coaches, teammates, and opponents
-
Show good sportsmanship at all times
-
Listen carefully and follow instructions
-
Try their best, and have a positive attitude
-
Support others and work as a team
​
Behaviour Management Process
While we understand that all children can have off days, it’s important to maintain a consistent and fair approach when behaviour falls below expectations.
We operate a clear three-step system during our sessions:
​
1st Instance – Verbal Warning
-
The child will be spoken to away from the group by a coach.
-
The coach will explain what behaviour was unacceptable and what is expected going forward.
​
2nd Instance – Yellow Card
-
The child will be asked to take a 5-minute cool-down away from the activity.
-
A coach will talk with them again to ensure they understand the situation.
3rd Instance – Red Card
-
The child will be removed from the session for the remainder of the activity.
-
Parents/carers will be informed of the behaviour incident.
​
Ongoing Concerns
If a child receives two red cards within a 12-month period, they will be removed from all Ballers Sports Club sessions for the remainder of the year.
This step is only taken in exceptional cases where the behaviour repeatedly disrupts the experience and safety of other children and staff. Parents will be kept informed throughout the process, and we are always happy to work together to support positive behaviour changes.
​
Working Together
We believe the best outcomes come when coaches and parents work in partnership. If you have any concerns about your child’s experience or behaviour at Ballers, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We are here to support every child and help them enjoy their sporting journey to the fullest.
