Players: Code of Conduct (U18s)
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.
