Player Conduct

Nascot Wood Rangers Football Club Respect Code of Conduct for Youth Players

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.

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 play to the best of my ability

· Play fairly – I won’t cheat, complain or waste time.

· Respect my team-mates, the other team, the referee or my coach/manager.

· Play by the rules, as directed by the referee

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

· Listen and respond to what my coach/team manager tells me

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

· Ensure that I am punctual when attending games, training and any meetings

· Encourage my team mates

· Not enter into any act of bulling a member of my club or any other club, either directly or electronically.

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 required to apologise to my team-mates, the other team, referee or team manager

· Receive a formal warning from the coach or the club committee

· Be dropped or substituted

· Be suspended from training

· Be 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.
