Interaction with Volunteers within the Club (including Coaches, Managers & Team Officials)

As a member, parent/guardian or associate of Newtown Hockey Club, I agree to abide by the following policy guidelines:

• I will acknowledge and extend all courtesies to volunteers who are giving up their valuable time to enable myself or my child/dependants to play the game of hockey
• As a player, parent/guardian or associate, I will avoid displaying (through action or verbal abuse) my dissension, displeasure or disapproval towards volunteers – this contravenes the THA Code of Conduct available from THA website)
• I will only directly approach the coaching staff for constructive feedback specific to myself or my child/dependant -  the coach will not discuss other players within the team 
• If the coach feels that feedback is not being received constructively, they can end the conversation immediately and it will resume in the presence of a committee member, such as the president or coaching director
• If a person wishes to make a formal complaint with regards to a club volunteer or a team’s coaching staff, this must be done through a member of the Newtown Hockey Committee & the complaint will be passed onto the volunteer/coach & mediation scheduled
