Player's Code of Conduct

At Shirley Town FC, we want to ensure our players enjoy playing the beautiful game of football. To help with this, we have devised a code of conduct for each player to follow.

• Play for the "fun of it", not just to please your parents or coach
• Play by the Laws of the Game
• Never argue with the Referee or Linesman decisions
• Control your temper and use your energies for playing better football
• Play well for yourself and your team, your team's performance will benefit and so will your own
• Be a good sport. Recognise all good play, whether by your team or by your opponent's team
• Treat all players as you yourself would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of any player
• Remember that the aims of the game are to have fun, improve your skills and feel good. Do not be a show off
• Co-operate with your coach/manager, team mates and opponents, for without them you will not have a game
• Learn the Laws of the Game and you will be a much better football player
