Players Code of Conduct

It is important everyone behaves themselves when playing football.

As a player, you have a big part to play. That's why The FA is asking every player to follow a Respect Code of Conduct.

When playing football, I will:

· Always do my best, even if we're losing or the other team is stronger

· Play fairly - I won't cheat, complain or waste time

· Never be rude to my team-mates, the other team, the referee, spectators or my coach/team manager

· Do what the referee tells me

· Shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game

· Listen to my coach/team manager and respect what he/she says

· Talk to someone I trust, for example my parents or the club welfare officer if I'm unhappy about anything at my club.

I understand that if I do not follow the code, action may be taken.

Let the Children play...

They stand on the field, their hearts beating fast
The whistle’s been blown, the die has been cast
Mum and Dad cannot help – they face this alone
A goal at this moment would send the team home!

The ball’s at his feet… he shoots and it misses
There’s a moan from the crowd, boo’s and hisses
A thoughtless voice shouts “take off the bum”
Tears fill his eyes, it’s no longer fun

If you find yourself tempted to shout or to groan
Just think – it’s a child who stands there alone!
So open your heart, give them a break
In moments like this a player you make

Keep this in mind, please don’t forget
Those players are our children - not adults, not yet!
