Just a friendly reminder to all members of Gawler BMX (and BMX in general) that there is a Code of Conduct in place which applies to riders, officials and to parents.

Please show respect to all members of the BMX Community.

A copy of the Code of Conduct is attached.

Thanks everyone!

BMX SOUTH AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED
CODE OF CONDUCT

COMPETITORS

Observe the rules contained in the “UCI BMX Rule Book”. Do not prevent other riders from riding to the best of their ability. Never argue with an official. If you disagree consult the “Rider Advocate” Treat all other riders, as you yourself would like to be treated. Profanities, threats or physical violence towards other competitors or officials is unacceptable. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of other riders. Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all competitors regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion. OFFICIALS

Be consistent, objective and courteous when making decisions. Keep up to date with the latest rules and trends in officiating. Condemn unsporting behaviour and promote respect for all competitors. Be a good sport yourself, actions speak louder than words. Set an example, your comments should be positive and supportive. Place the safety and welfare of competitors above all else. Give all competitors a “fair go” regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion. PARENTS
*Encourage your children to participate, do not force them.

Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather than winning or losing. Appreciate good performance by all competitors and officials. Respect officials’ decisions and teach your child to do likewise. Never ridicule or yell at a rider for making a mistake or losing a race. Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every rider regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
