Parents Code of Conduct

​

At Cumbernauld Centurions BMX Club, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where all riders can enjoy and develop their BMX skills. As a parent or guardian, your role is key in helping us maintain a positive atmosphere at training sessions, race events, and in the wider BMX community.

By being part of our club, you agree to the following:

 

Support and Encouragement

​

• Encourage your child to enjoy BMX and focus on effort, progress, and having fun—not just results.

• Celebrate determination, improvement, and sportsmanship, regardless of race outcomes.

• Trust our coaches to guide your child’s development—support them by avoiding sideline coaching.

 

Respect for All

​

• Treat all riders, coaches, officials, volunteers, and fellow parents with respect—on and off the track.

• Do not use abusive, threatening, or foul language in any context.

• Set a positive example for your child by demonstrating good sportsmanship and inclusivity.

​

Safety and Responsibility

​

• Ensure your child’s bike and safety gear are in good working order and that they arrive on time.

• Inform coaches of any medical or personal issues that might impact participation.

• Encourage your child to follow instructions, club rules, and respect the track environment.

 

At Training and Events

​

• Do not challenge race officials or coaching decisions during sessions or events.

• Raise concerns respectfully and through the proper club channels.

• Support all riders—cheer effort and success fairly, not just your own child.

 

Social Media and Communication

​

• Use social media responsibly. Avoid posting anything negative or inappropriate about riders, coaches, the club, or events.

• Stay connected through official club updates and communicate respectfully with coaches and committee members.

 

Breach of Conduct
