Message from Our President Dear Members On behalf of the Management Committee I would like to congratulate all teams on a terrific (if not cold and wet) Good luck to all teams that have managed a place in finals, and for those that season has ended we trust you are looking forward to celebrating the year with your team mates during our wind up functions. As we hit the "business end" of the season (for 35 Tinnies teams!) it is usual for competitive tensions to rise, and unfortunately potential for this to bubble over into moments that are at odds with the Codes of Conduct both our club and the Fremantle Netball Association abide by.

4 Whilst the vast majority of members live and breathe these codes and therefore represent Tingara magnificently, (for which the club is thankful) I would like to take the opportunity to again remind everyone of these codes, and underline that they exist to ensure good relations amongst not just ourselves but also the wider FNA community. Please get behind our wonderful coaches and managers during this time too - they are volunteers balancing lots of decisions in the best interest of the their team on game day. It is important that they feel your support. FNA Parents and Spectators Code of Conduct 1. Encourage players to participate if they are interested, do not force them; 2. Encourage players to always participate according to the rules and the umpiring decisions; 3. Focus on the player and teams efforts and performance rather than winning and losing; 4. Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing a game; 5. Remember that children learn best from example. Applaud/appreciate good performances and skilful plays by all participants; 6. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from the game; 7. Respect officials decisions and teach players to do likewise; 8. If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than questioning the officials judgment and honesty in public; 9. Show appreciation of volunteer coaches, officials and administrators; 10. Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using derogatory language, harassing players, coaches or officials or interfering with the progress and /or conduct of a game. The full list of FNA conduct codes can be found at: Thank you for helping ensure our Club motto " Success with Integrity" plays out every Saturday! Go Tinnies - have a great finals series!
