Athlete Code of Conduct

KBA stands out because the athletes and coaches we welcome are great people. This is not a coincidence. We just want positive people around us, and we have a zero-tolerance regarding disrespect, violence, aggression or any form of harassment.

TIME

Be on time

• Elite athletes should aim to be at least 15 minutes early for sessions

• If you arrive late, approach a Coach, say sorry, and begin warming up on the sidelines until instructed to join the session

• Elite athletes arriving 15 minutes after the session has started, may not be able to take part in the training

ATTENDANCE

Being part of KBA’s program demands significant dedication

• Make sure to attend all training sessions

• To be part of our teams, you must attend a minimum of one training session per week

• Attendance is compulsory for all team games

• If unable to attend your game due to illness, family emergency, or school commitments, inform your team manager and coach in advance to ensure smooth team operations

ALWAYS GIVE 100%

Put in maximum effort during sessions

• Maintain a positive attitude and mindset

• Be proactive and ready to take on any challenges that come your way during the training session 

• Approach sessions with the goal of enhancing your skills as a player by giving your all

• Stay committed to your goals and keep pushing forward, even when the going gets tough

LISTEN TO YOUR COACHES

Soak up the wisdom your coaches dish out

• When a COACH is speaking, you should be listening

• Follow their instructions, work hard and ask questions if you need clarification

• Don’t be disrespectful or defiant

• Maintain a respectful tone when communicating with your coach and address any issues privately
