players code of conduct

the U9 version - by Chris White

Players should:

• Play according to the rules and never argue with the referee or your coach. They are there to help and they can make mistakes, just like you.

• Always train and play to the best of your ability, and encourage others to do the same.

• Don’t lose your temper or get upset. Rudeness, bad temper and sulking spoils everyone's fun. If you have a problem, tell your coach.

• Respect the opposition. Treat other teams as new friends, you’ll be playing them again one day!

• Look and act like a footballer. That means turning up for training and games on time, looking smart and in the right gear.

• Don't forget your water bottle!

• Wear the right sort of shoes – trainers on hard surfaces, studded boots on grass.

• Always wear your shinguards.

• Clean your own boots and trainers!
  
     Enjoy every game whether you win or lose!
