Player Code of Behavior

The Code of Conduct for North Canberra Gungahlin players can be sighted here. As members of the Club all players (and their parents) when they register with the Club agree to adopt the Code of Conduct as it applies to junior players.

The most important rule is to develop your cricket skills, enjoy the fellowship of those you train and play with and HAVE FUN!!

However, to enable all players to get the most from their experience with North Canberra the following practical rules also apply:

Behaviour at Practice and Game Day

1. Zero Tolerance: North Canberra/Gungahlin Cricket Club has a Zero Tolerance Policy towards bad and abusive language and offensive behavior from players, team officials and supporters.
2. Punctuality: All players are required to be punctual for practices, games and other Club activities. This will assist the smooth running of the event.
3. Practice Behaviour: All players attending the practices, games and other Club activities are expected to obey all the rules and regulations as determined by the Club organisers. The players will also show respect to each other, all members of the Club staff and players from other clubs and their Club staff.
