Parent’s Code of Conduct

Today’s parents have an important role in the delivery and support of sporting activities for their own and other children. With it comes a clear responsibility to act in a constructive and encouraging manner at all times. Remember, that at Saber Academy, your child is participating in an activity where discipline and respect are paramount.

Your child’s instructor is responsible for the welfare of all students in his/her class and may therefore be required to deal with issues that have the potential to jeopardize the safety or learning of other students. If you should at any time have concerns about your child or their instructor, please make an appointment, or arrange a time to discuss your concerns with your child’s senior instructor.

Barracking and wanting your child to perform well is human nature, however, we discourage this when in and during class. We do have some activities where the instructor will encourage barracking and cheering of the student but it is critical that this should be done in a responsible manner, avoiding inappropriate, anti-social and discriminatory behavior at all times. The same applies to gossip, harassment and bullying among parents.

We recommend that parents enforce in their child and encourage a positive attitude before and after class with their training. We also appreciate, if required, that parents participate in their child’s training, e.g., helping the instructor with partner drills when there are odd numbers, holding practice equipment etc. Even joining in the class as a student helps enforce a positive attitude towards your child’s training journey and even benefit you.
