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.

Safeguarding Disclosures
Building a safe and fun environment:
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility within the football club. We all have an ongoing duty to ensure the game is safe, positive, and enjoyable experience for the children, young people, and adults who regularly play, watch, coach, referee, and volunteer.
​
As part of our responsibility to ensure a positive experience for everyone, we follow The FA's simple three-part approach to Safeguarding which includes:
1) Getting the right people involved - all coaches are DBS checked, and have qualifications in Safeguarding, and First Aid.
2) Creating a safe environment - we have clear codes of conducts for coaches, parents, and players to follow, which can be seen on the website.
3) Promoting clear systems to deal with any concerns - we have a clear complaints procedure which can also be seen on our website.
