Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct for Coaches / Managers/Supporters and Players 

·        Coaches/Managers must respect the rights' dignity and worth of each and every person and treat each equally within the context of the sport.

·        Coaches/Managers must place the well being and safety of each player above all other considerations, including the development of performance.

·        Coaches/Managers must adhere to all guidelines laid down within the Constitution and the Rules of The Football Association.

·        Coaches/Managers must develop an appropriate working relationship with each player based on mutual trust and respect.

·        Coaches/Managers must not exert undue influence to obtain personal benefit or reward.

·        Coaches/Managers must encourage and guide players to accept responsibility for their own behavior and performance.

·        Coaches/Managers must ensure at the activities they direct or advocate is appropriate for the age, maturity, experience and ability of players.

·        Coaches/Managers should, at the outset, clarify with the player (and, where appropriate, their parents) exactly what is expected of them and also what they are entitled to expect from their coach.

·        Coaches/Managers must co-operate fully with other specialists (e.g. other coaches, officials, sports scientists, doctors, physiotherapists) in the best interests of the player.

·        Coaches/Managers must always promote the appropriate Code of Conduct and positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play) to players, parents and spectators alike. Never condone violations of the Laws of the Game, behavior contrary to the spirit of the Laws of the Game or relevant rules and regulations or the use of prohibited substances or techniques.

·       Coaches/Managers must consistently display high standards of behavior and experience and be a role model for players, parents and spectators.

We are introducing a spectator’s code of conduct which will set a precedent in bringing down the levels of abuse aimed at match day officials in football.

The League will now operate a zero tolerance policy with regards to bad language and abuse of referees and their assistants from the touchlines.

Teams must follow the set of guidelines and they must ask anyone abusing the following rules to leave the ground.

The guidelines prohibit:

Constantly and forcefully questioning an official’s decision
Accusing an official of cheating
Personally insulting an official
Swearing

One side of the pitch must be coned off at 2 metres and spectators must stand behind that coned off line, crossing that line constantly (Unless entering the pitch to see to an injured player) will constitute an offence.

Spectators must not stand at neither end of the pitch near the goals,

Both coaches and their substitutes to stand the opposite side of the pitch to the spectators.

It has been suggested by several teams that we introduce linesmen for 7 a-side matches but as we cannot make it compulsory, so we would like to make it voluntary, so if both teams at a match agree then they can be used, for ball out of play and for fouls throws.
