🏀 PLEASE READ 🏀
Whilst this important message comes from FDBA, it relates to every team no matter which association you play in.
Such an important reminder of the values we expect and the code of conduct we abide by.
Please always keep in mind this is a kids sport - for friendship and fun!
TWENTY officials have quit refereeing at Frankston Basketball this year.
Why? Abuse from spectators, coaches, parents and players.
As we head into finals across our senior and junior competitions, emotions can run high. However, that does not excuse abusive behaviour.
A reminder: your involvement must remain positive.
🔸 Parents/spectators do not enter the playing area at any time.
🔸 At no point should parents/spectators approach officials.
🔸 Leave the management of players to their coaches.
🔸 If there is an issue, speak to a supervisor.
Abuse drives referees away. Respect keeps them in the game. No Refs = No Play.
