We all have a responsibility to promote
high standards of behavior in the
game.
As a player, you have a big part to play.
That’s why Potomac Soccer Club is asking every
player to follow a Respect Code of
Conduct.
When playing soccer, I will:
• Always play to the best of my ability
• Play fairly – I won’t cheat, complain
or waste time.
• Respect my team-mates, the other
team, the referee or my
coach/manager.
• Play by the rules, as directed by the
referee
• Shake hands with the other team
and referee at the end of the game
and congratulate them on a good game
• Listen and respond to what my
coach/team manager tells me
• Talk to someone I trust if I’m unhappy about
anything at my club.
I understand that if I do not follow the
Code, any/all of the following actions
may be taken by my Coach/Club
I may:
• Be required to apologize to my
team-mates, the other team,
referee or team manager
• Receive a formal warning from the
coach or the club committee
• Be dropped or substituted
• Be suspended from training
• Be required to leave the club.
In addition:
• My club, may make my parent or carer aware of
any infringements of the Code
of Conduct
