Players Code of Conduct

• Play by the rules
• Referees decision is final
• Control your temper
• Verbal abuse of players or officials, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent, is not an acceptable or permitted behaviour.
• Be willing to train and prepare for the game. Preparation helps prevent injury and increase level of enjoyment.
• Play only when you are fully fit. To play with an injury will handicap your team and you may be exposed to the risk of serious, lifelong injury.
• Work equally hard for yourself and your team, your team’s performance will benefit, and so will you.
• Be a good sport
• Treat all involved in Football as you would like to be treated
• Cooperate with your coach, manager, team mates, opponents and referees.
• Do not publicly question the official’s judgement or their honesty.
• Be modest in success and generous in defeat.
• Play for your own enjoyment and not for the pleasure of parents and coaches
• Respect rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
