    matches and equipment. It is a skill and competition based program that all children should participate in prior

    PARENTS ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
    Before the game
    You dont need to tell your child that winning doesnt matter because they know it has some meaning.
    Instead, help them to develop a healthy competitive attitude for trying hard and having fun
    Tell your child to go for it, give it your best shot and have fun

    During the game


    Dont yell instructions at your child during the game. The coach has given them instructions and their
    teammates are also calling out to them; too much input is confusing
    Cheer and acknowledge good play by both teams
    Never criticise a mistake, only make motivational comments
    Respect the decisions made by the officials. Your child will learn to respect authority by seeing you
    do the same
    Accept the decision of where your child may play during that game. All participants will play in all
    positions during the season

    After the game


    Thank the officials and the coach
    Congratulate your child and their teammates on their efforts
    Compliment individual players on good plays they made during the game
    Focus on the way your child played rather than winning or losing
    If your child is upset with losing, help them not to focus on the outcome

    During the car ride home


    Point out a good play your child made during the game
    Avoid criticising or correcting mistakes
    Ask questions like:
    What was fun about netball today?
    What was something you did well today?
    What did you learn from the game?
    What do you like best about Suncorp NetSetGO?
