Code of conduct

PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT

·         Play by the rules – the rules of your club and the laws of the game.

·         Never argue with a referee or other official – without these people you can’t play football.

·         Control your temper - verbal abuse of officials and abusing other players doesn’t help you enjoy or win any games.

·         Be a team player – It’s a team game, treat it that way.

·         Treat all players as you would like to be treated – fairly.

·         Co-operate with your coach, the referees and team-mates.

·         Play for your own enjoyment & to improve your skills.

·         Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your coach, team- mates and family if you do. Many such comments are actually now illegal.

·         Observe the Club’s Health & Safety Rules.

PARENTS & SUPPORTERS CODE OF CONDUCT

·         Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game.

·         Encourage participation but don’t force it. Teach that enjoyment is more important than winning.

·         Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support not downgrade.

·         Lead by example and respect all players, coaches, referees and spectators – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.

·         Recognise all Coaches who are giving up their valuable time. Give them space during a match to direct the players – Never criticise them in front of players, other parents and supporters.

·         Never publicly criticise referees – raise personal concerns with club officials in private.

·         Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your family and yourself if you do. Many such comments are actually now illegal.

·         Observe the Club’s Health & Safety Rules.
