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.

Identity Colour: Youthful Yellow
West Hallam Junior sides have always played in the colour yellow as our home kit since 1980. The youthful yellow represents the junior side of the club which is the focus of West Hallam JFC today. It links to our value of enjoyment as it it embodies energy and vibrancy, reflecting the joy and excitement of playing football, which aligns perfectly with the club's value. This colour signifies the emphasis on creating a fun, inclusive, and engaging environment where the well-being and enjoyment of young players are prioritised above all else.
