As a player, I will:

·         Make every honest effort to develop my sporting ability, to include fitness, skill, technique and tactical ability.

·         Strive to set a positive example for younger players and supporters.

·         Safeguard the physical fitness of opponents, avoid violence and rough play, and where possible help injured oppo­nents.

·         Give maximum effort and strive for the best possible performance during each game.

·         Avoid all forms of gamesmanship, and time wasting.

·         Refrain from using inappropriate language particularly to referees/officials and other players.
