As players are constantly in the glare of public attention and are widely recognised as the most important people in the sport, there is a considerable onus upon them to speak and act in a manner which promotes all that is good about the game and the club.

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.

·         Make every effort consistent with fair play and the laws of the game to help my team win.

·         Abide by the laws, rules of the game and of any given competition, both in fact and in spirit.

·         Accept victory and defeat with equanimity.

·         Resist any temptation to consume or otherwise imbibe any banned substances.

·         Treat opponents with respect at all times.

·         Demonstrate due respect towards match officials.

·         Accept the decisions of the match officials without protest.

·         Avoid words or actions which may mislead a match official.

·         Abide by the lawful instructions and directions of mentors and team officials.

·         Act towards the mentors and officials of the opposing side in a respectful manner.

·         Demonstrate due regard for the interest of supporters.

·         Not act or speak so as to incite or encourage supporters to act in a way that may endanger the safety of anyone attending or participating in the game.

·         Not either directly or indirectly place a bet on the outcome of any game in which I am involved.

·         Have regard to the best interests of the game when publicly expressing an opinion on the game or on others in­volved in the game.

·         In making public comments on a particular fixture or on the game in general, I will be mindful of upholding and pro­moting the good name of the game and others involved in it in the wider community.
