Our code of ethics is very clear on the standards expected of spectators and the principles contained within it must be adhered to so basketball can be enjoyed by all.
The code applies to everyone involved in basketball at every level, including players, officials, coaches, administrators, club officials, and spectators.
We must all respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person, player and non-player alike, treating everyone equally within the context of the game.

While not all spectators at children’s games are parents/guardians, we know that many are.
Our code of ethics also covers the expected behaviours of family members.
The aim is to ensure children are taught important principles such as teamwork, effort, respect, and enjoyment in sport.
Any spectators not adhering to expected standards will be removed from the court area and the club to which they are associated will receive a fine.
Anyone who witnesses behaviour that does not meet expected conduct standards should report this to officials on duty at the game.
Report offensive and abusive behaviour by using our reporting portal via the link below.

My message to all our clubs is download our handy guide on spectator behaviour and display it on your social media channels and print a few copies to display at your games.
Wishing you all the best of luck - and great game day experiences for everyone for the rest of the season.
