IMPORTANT INFORMATION - KNOBS FC Player Code of Conduct

Players are the most important people in the sport of football. Playing for enjoyment as a member of a team is the most fundamental part of the game. Whilst winning is the objective, it is not to be achieved at any cost – Fair Play and respect for all others in the game is essential.

This Code focuses on players involved in team football. Nevertheless, the key concepts in the Code are valid for players at all levels.

1. Play football to enjoy yourself, and accept that striving to win is more important than winning itself. Victory and defeat are inevitable, and should be accepted equally
2. Understand and abide by the laws, rules and spirit of the game and any competition in which you participate
3. Players will exhibit good sportsmanship at all times, never condone violations of the laws of the game or exhibit behaviour contrary to the spirit of the laws of the game
4. Consistently display high standards of behaviour
5. Respect the wishes and directions of your coach
6. Respect the referees decisions at all times
7. Treat opponents with due respect at all times, and avoid words or actions that may mislead a match official
8. No offensive, abusive or insulting remarks shall be made toward any other player, official or parent
9. Display a good attitude at training and on match days
10. Players will turn up for matches in advance of kick-off and training as directed by the team manager
11. No jewellery is to be worn by players during matches or training
12. Players will always wear the correct kit
13. Club kit is only to be worn for matches
14. Football boots must in a good and safe condition
15. Players must wear shin pads during matches and training
16. Players must not eat or chew during matches or training
