WHEN PLAYING FOOTBALL, I WILL:

• Always play to the best of my ability, and for the benefit of the team

• Play fairly - I won’t cheat, dive, complain or waste time

• Respect my team0mates, the other team, the referee or my coach/manager

• Play by the rules, as directed by the referee

• Be gracious in victory and defeat - I will shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game

• Listen and respond to what my coach/manager tells me

• Understand that a coach has to do what is best for the team and not one individual player

• Talk to someone I trust or the club welfare officer if I’m unhappy about anything at my club

I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club, County FA or The FA:

I MAY BE:

• Be required to apologise to my team0mates, the other team, referee or team manager

• Receive a formal warning from the coach or club committee

• Be dropped or substituted

• Be suspended from training

• Required to leave the club

IN ADDITION:

• My club, County FA or The FA may make my parent or carer aware of any infringements of the code of conduct

• The FA/County FA could impose a fine and suspension against my club
