FAIR PLAY COMMITMENT

41st KYOKUSHIN KWF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

The Fair Play Commitment are rules set forth by the Alcorcón City Council for all its Competitions and Sporting Events, so we convey to you the need to keep it very much in mind.

EDUCATION IN COMPETITIONS IS EVERYONE’S TASK

The attitude and habitual behavior of parents is very important so that their children acquire and respect the values ​​and habits that are taught to them. They need to set an example for them by living according to the principles they want to embody in them.

In the scope of KYOKUSHIN, we consider it as a school of life, for this reason it is convenient that parents observe the norms that are exposed below:

1. Avoid insults, shouting, violent verbal forms towards athletes, referees, teachers, etc.
2. Respect the decisions of the referees and invite the competitors to do the same.
3. Encourage competitors to respect all rules of the games or competitions.
4. Remind such competitors that clean and noble effort is worth as much as victory.
5. Recognize your own merits, but also those of the opponent.
6. Do not instill in the competitor the desire for success at all costs, sometimes motivated by the frustrations of parents.
7. Do not ridicule or belittle the competitor who has been defeated. Nor make him believe that he has lost because of the others.
8. Accept the limitations of the competitor and not try to console him by giving him a medal that he has not won in the normal development of the competition.
