Player's Code

PLEASE:

Play for fun and to enjoy the game - not just to please your manager or show off.
Play by the rules - real winners do not need to cheat.
Encourage your team mates at all times.
Accept the referee's decision, even if you think he is wrong.
Listen to the manager, he is there to help and advise you.
Turn up for training as often as possible. It is the regular practice at training that makes a good team.
Enjoy training and train hard you will notice the benefits when you play your matches.
Keep quiet when your manager is talking. It is rude to talk at the same time, and you will not know what he is saying or wants you to do.
Control your temper and your emotions.
Play fairly and try to win by playing good football.
Be a good sport and try to enjoy yourself.

DO NOT:

Argue with the referee or his assistants, they will not change their decision and they might penalise your team again for arguing.
Be selfish, football is a team game to be enjoyed by others.
Think you are the best player and can do everything better than everybody else - you are part of a team.
Think you will play in every minute of every match, your manager has the whole squad to think about.
Shout at a team mate when he makes a mistake, it might be you who makes the next one.
Get involved in arguments with other players. You are there to play and enjoy football.
Leave everything to the manager. He will need help with putting the nets up and taking them down, corner flags, sorting out kit, etc.
Fail to pay any monies to the club when they are due. Your manager will tell you what the money goes towards.
Become indisciplined or swear - it will not be tolerated
