Code of conduct
The aim of Unipol’s Social Sport league is to be a fun, exciting and enjoyable experience for all, regardless of skill level or ability. While a healthy level of friendly competition is encouraged, the purpose of this league is to provide a physical recreation activity in a friendly, social environment. We do not keep scores at the end of the game and there is no ‘first place’ at the end of the season. It is everyone’s collective responsibility to contribute towards the positive environment. The following seven values encompass what Unipol Social Sport is all about.
- Ngahau: the primary purpose of Unipol Social Sport is for all participants to have fun.
- Whanaungatanga: nurturing positive relationships, connections and a sense of community between participants.
- Manaakitanga: participants are treated, and treat each other, with dignity and respect.
- Hauora: physical, psychological, spiritual, familial and social wellbeing of participants, recognising sport and recreation should make a positive contribution to participants’ wellbeing.
- Haumarutanga: the importance of protecting people’s safety and wellbeing.
- Pono: acting in a way that is trustworthy, honest and fair.
- Utu and Ea: reciprocity and opportunities for repairing harm done and restoring a state of balance.
Examples of behaviours that contradict these values include using deliberate or excessive force towards the opposition or referee, offensive comments, name-calling, threatening behaviour (verbal or physical), any kind of discrimination, etc.; whilst this is not an exhaustive list, it does cover some common unsavoury behaviour seen in social sport. Aggressive play, foul language and violence is not tolerated in our Social Sport league, and any incidents of this nature will be dealt with seriously. If you have any issues with the opposition or referee, please let the Unipol Recreation Programmes Coordinator know immediately.
