PRINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB
The Springwood Football Club fully supports the codes of conduct as introduced by the AFL and AFL Queensland.
COACHES CODE OF CONDUCT
• Coaches are required to sign the AFL Code of Conduct as part of the Level 1 Accreditation requirement. All coaches must be accredited to coach in our Club.
PLAYER’S CODE OF CONDUCT
• Play by the rules – the rules of your club and the laws of the game.
• Never argue with an umpire or other official – without these people, you can’t play football.
• Control your temper - verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players doesn’t help you enjoy or win any games.
• Be a team player – It’s a team game, treat it that way.
• Treat all players as you would like to be treated – fairly.
• Co-operate with your coach, the umpires and team-mates.
• Play for your own enjoyment & to improve your skills.
• Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your coach, teammates and family if you do – & many such comments are actually now illegal.
PARENTS & SUPPORTERS CODE OF CONDUCT
• Remember that you are there for the participants to enjoy the game.
• Encourage participation, but don’t force it.
• Teach that enjoyment is more important than winning.
• Never ridicule mistakes or losses – supporters are there to support not downgrade.
• Lead by example and respect all players, coaches, umpires and spectators – physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated.
• Recognise all volunteers who are giving up their valuable time.
• Never publicly criticise umpires – raise personal concerns with club officials in private.
• Don’t use ugly remarks based on race, religion, gender or ability – you’ll let down your family and yourself if you do – & many such comments are actually now illegal.
By registering your child with the Springwood AFC you have agreed to abide by these principles. You need to support the club in its undertakings, and encourage the Club to take any necessary disciplinary actions including the suspension and banning where warranted of any players, parents and or spectators for repeated or serious breaches of these Codes of Conduct.
