Super Sevens Code Of Conduct
- Players and team managers must not question the referee's decision.
- When a free kick is awarded, the defending team must observe the compulsory six yards rule immediately.
- Players must not attempt to steal ground when taking kick-ins or throw-ins, or free kicks.
- No coaching from the touchline during the actual play.
- Team mates and adults in charge should give positive encouragement to players who make mistakes.
- Players, team managers and match officials should shake hands before and after each game.
- Above all, everyone, children and adults, should do their best to produce an exciting and enjoyable game.
It is recommended that the referee should remind all players and adults in charge of teams of the Sevens Code of Conduct before the commencement of each match.
Adult Attitudes
The following guidelines are suggested:
- Reflected Glory:
All adults in attendance must show by example that they are more concerned with the well-being of the child and the good of the game, than with satisfying their need for reflected glory.
- Brain over Brawn:
Players should be encouraged to display creative skill and discouraged from trying to win through primitive or violent means.
- Fun First:
Fun and skill should be higher priorities than winning. Adults should remember that when dealing with young people, tomorrow is more important than today. All research proves that an over emphasis on winning at an early age will reduce the numbers playing the game and will lower the ultimate standard of skill of most players.
