Bargara FC Inc. expects all Players to abide by the Code of Conduct at all times. This includes senior competition, junior competition and Miniroos fixtures, training and Bargara FC scheduled coaching sessions.
- Play by the rules as instructed by coaches, referees or other FQ accredited officials.
- Never argue with the Referee or Official. If you disagree have your Captain, Coach or Manager approach them during a break, at half time or after the game to ask any necessary questions.
- Control your temper. Verbal abuse and sledging other players, deliberately distracting, deliberately fouling or provoking an opponent is not acceptable behaviour and is not permitted in any sport.
- Treat all participants in your sport as you would like to be treated.
- Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of any player.
- Participate for your own enjoyment, not just to please parents and coaches.
- Play for the fun and “love of the game”, while improving your skills and feel good about yourself.
- Work equally hard for yourself and your team – your team’s performance will benefit and so will your own.
- Applaud all good play whether by your team or by your opponent’s team.
- Co-operate with your coach, team-mates and opponents. Without them, there would be no game.
- Be polite, considerate and well-mannered at all times, as your behaviour reflects on the rest of your team and the soccer community.
- Remember to be a “good sport”.
- Don’t be a bully.
Players need to understand that if they do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by the Committee. You may:
- Be required to apologise to my team-mates, the other team and the referee
- Receive a formal warning from the coach or the club committee
- Be dropped or substituted
- Be suspended from training
- Be required to serve a suspension
- Be required to leave the club.
