Applaud good play by your team and by members of the opposing team.\nDo not question publicly the officials’ judgement and never their honesty.\nSupport all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.\nSet an example by being friendly to the parents of the opposition, emphasise enjoyment and fun, praise and reinforce effort and improvement.\nCoaching is allowed throughout the competition.\nPlease remind your child/judoka that without instruction, they should adjust their judogi, so that the front and back of the jacket are inside the belt after every mate\n\n
