CONtext

Zespri AIMS Games brings together young athletes, coaches, officials, and supporters from across the country to celebrate participation, sportsmanship, and the development of skill and confidence through competitive play. As spectators, parents, family members, and supporters play a vital role in shaping the experience of all participants. Their conduct on and off the field can have a lasting impact on children’s enjoyment of sport, their sense of safety, and their willingness to continue participating.

To uphold the values of fairness, respect, and inclusion, and to ensure a positive environment for all involved, a clear and consistent Spectator Code of Conduct is essential. This code outlines the expectations for behaviour before, during, and after matches, including respectful communication, support for all players, and adherence to tournament rules and decisions. It also helps tournament organisers manage behaviour effectively and respond appropriately to any incidents that may arise.

This code aims to protect the wellbeing of young participants, foster positive sporting attitudes, and maintain the integrity of the tournament as a safe and family-friendly event. All spectators are expected to understand and adhere to this Code throughout the duration of the tournament.
