Detailed below is the Coton Green FC Code of Conduct for Young Players (Under 18) within the club:

WHEN PLAYING FOOTBALL I WILL:

o Always play to the best of my ability and for the benefit of my team.

o Play fairly – I won’t cheat, dive, complain or waste time.

o Respect my team-mates, the other team, the referee or my coach/manager.

o Play by the rules, as directed by the referee.

o Be gracious in victory and defeat – I will shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game.

o Listen and respond to what my coach/team manager tells me.

o Understand that a coach has to do what is best for the team and not one individual player.

o Talk to someone I trust or the club welfare officer if I’m unhappy about anything at my club.

I understand that if I do not follow the code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by Coton Green, The Birmingham County FA or The FA:

I MAY:

o Be required to apologise to my team-mates, the other team, referee or team manager.

o Receive a formal warning from the coach or the club committee.

o Be dropped or substituted.

o Be suspended from training.

o Be required to leave the club.

IN ADDITION:

o Coton Green, Birmingham County FA or The FA may make my parent or carer aware of any infringements of the Code of Conduct.

o The FA/County FA could impose a fine and suspension against my club.
