Burleigh Bombers Code of Conduct

The BJAFLC strongly believes winning isn’t everything at a junior level, but recognises competition is healthy for player development and team morale.

• We promote a positive, friendly, healthy image and strongly support the concept of teamwork both on and off the playing field and encourage and welcome parental/guardian and supporter involvement at both team and club level.
• We recognise the need to maintain a safe environment for all players, official, parents/guardians, supporters and the community,

As an individual we expect all players to apply themselves in the following manner:

• Look out for one another and be kind; always,
• Be respectful and thankful for the time, effort, and energy your coaches, managers and volunteers offer to ensure you develop as a player and person,
• Be the best version of yourself: try hard, be open to learning, commit to your team and the sport,
• Enjoy the game and being part of a team,
• Listen and be a learner,
• Be a good sport; applaud good plays whether they’re made by your team, or the opposition,
