Conduct Policies

The Whitehorse Mustangs and all the competitions we play in follow the Codes of Conduct set up by Basketball Victoria.

The Basketball Victoria Codes of Conduct outlines the expected conduct governing our association and leagues for everyone connected to our game. This covers administrators, officials, coaches, parents, players and spectators.

Our association expects everyone involved to abide by these codes of conduct at all times. We hold a zero tolerance on behaviour outside of these codes.

This policy is intended to protect the interests of the Whitehorse Amateur Basketball Association (WABA), its members and associated stakeholders by defining the requirements expected in the use of social media. Members include players, coaches, team managers, referees and committee members.

Social Media offers the opportunity for people to gather in online communities of shared interest and create, share or consume content. As a member-based organization WABA recognises the benefits of social media as an important tool of engagement and enrichment for its members.

Along with those benefits are associated risks to the reputation of WABA, its members and followers and individuals who might interact with the association through social media channels.

The intent of this policy is to include anything posted online where information is shared that might affect members, sponsors or WABA as a club. This includes (but is not limited to) comments or implied comments regarding:

• Games or Association events
• Team or player performance
• Individuals with a direct context or mention of their role with their role within WABA such as officials and referees and
• WABA as an Association

This policy applies to WABA members, coaches, referees or any individual representing themselves or passing themselves off as being a member of WABA.

This policy covers all forms of social media.

This policy aims to provide some guiding principles to follow when using social media. This policy does not apply to the personal use of social media platforms by WABA members where the WABA member makes no reference to WABA or related issues.
