SIFC Code of Conduct
All Club Members and Spectators
Operate within the rules and spirit of football and encourage to do the same.
Display control, respect and professionalism to others involved with football. This includes, opponents, coaches, officials, administrators, the media, parents and spectators.
Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
Never ridicule or scold a player for making a mistake.
Remember that young people participate in football for their enjoyment and benefit, not yours.
Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, parents, players and others and sledging, distracting or provoking of players is not acceptable behaviour.
Above all avoid violence, should a situation arise, leave response to officials present, increasing the number of participants can only inflame the problem.
Adhere to Association, Council and Club policies and regulations, in particular those governing alcohol, litter, noise and dogs.
Encourage all others to also follow this code of conduct.
Coaches
Aside from injury, each junior player should be on the field for at least half the game time. All players deserve equal playing and training time, regardless of their ability.
Be reasonable in your demands on players’ time, energy and enthusiasm.
Any physical contact with a young player should be appropriate to the situation and necessary for their development.
Ensure that the time players spend with you is a positive experience. All young players are deserving of equal attention and opportunities.
Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age, maturity and ability of all players.
Show concern and caution toward sick and injured players. Follow the advice of a physician when determining whether an injured player is ready to recommence training or competition.
Young players should be rotated throughout positions. It is important that all players receive the opportunity to learn the varied positions.
Young players should be spoken to in an appropriate manner. Players should not be yelled at or ridiculed, or spoken to in a demeaning manner.
