SUTTON HEATH FOOTBALL CLUB
PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT
Play for fun or it’s not worth playing
Control your temper…Losing it will affect your performance
Don’t keep appealing…. Learn the laws of the game and stick to them
Don’t over react when injured
Never argue with the referee…. Accept the decision and keep your thoughts to yourself
Be sporting…. If you accidentally hurt someone apologise and help him or her
Don’t over react when your team scores…. No silly displays are needed
Don’t criticise team-mates…. An encouraging word is more helpful
Don’t swear…. Bad language has no place in sport.
After the game thank the officials and the opposition…. Without them you don’t have a game
Remember you are a team and no one player is more important…. Every player has a role.
When the match is finished if there has been any disputes and bad feelings leave them on the pitch.
The real purpose of football is to have fun, to be able to participate, to improve skills, to learn sportsmanship, to develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline, to develop a group loyalty and comradeship, to learn to compete within established rules, to accept decisions of authorised officials and develop sound minds and bodies.
