Let’s make our sidelines a friendly and positive place to be

     IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN 

• • Above all, remember that everyone participates in sport for their enjoyment – this is not the World Cup.
    

     DON’T ABUSE ANYONE – BE GOOD ROLE MODELS

• • Encourage the players and cheer for them but never criticise or abuse them.  
  • Referees are volunteers who are doing their best.  Don’t abuse them – “No Respect, No Referees, No Game”.
  • Smoking and drinking on the sidelines are not allowed.

     COACHES ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD COACH

• • Unless the coach asks for help, please remember that the coach is the only person who should tell the players where to be and what to do.
  • Coaches shouldn’t run up and down the sidelines to instruct players – do that from the technical area or for junior goalies, have them supported discreetly and calmly from nearby behind the goals.
  • Barracking from behind the goal lines is not allowed – it’s unfair to the opposition team.

     STAY OFF THE FIELD

• • If a player is injured, coaches, parents and supporters MUST NOT go onto the field until the referee invites you to do so.
  • If players are arguing or fighting DO NOT go onto the field – you’ll just make it 10 times worse.  The referee will deal with it.

Our club’s Codes of Conduct set out the standards of behaviour that all of our players, coaches and supporters must follow.  We won’t tolerate bad behaviour.  Click HERE to see the codes.
