Code Of Conduct For
Players

Code Of Conduct for Coaches
Code Of Conduct for Parents/Spectators
As
part of the Application and Accreditation for the
FA Charter Mark, the Club has put in place a Code
of Conduct that applies to Players, Coaches, Team
Officials and Spectators. The Club expects this
Code to be adhered to and enforced at each and
every game.
Within Kew AFC we are proud of
our disciplinary record and strive to continue
to both maintain and improve upon it. The disciplinary
procedures in place do of course differ in relation
to the position you hold within the club. Players
are asked to view the clubs disciplinary procedures
so that they are fully aware of what is expected
of them and how they will be treated by the club
as a result of an infringement of the code.
Infringements
of the code by all other parties, excluding players
are likely in most cases to be dealt with following
a three stage disciplinary system.
Stage 1
|
A verbal
warning would usually be given to any individual
deemed to be breaking the code. |
Stage 2
|
If further breaches
occur a written warning maybe issued, |
Stage 3
|
If the individual concerned
fails to address the problem, the individual
concerned is likely to be asked to leave
the club or abstain from watching games. |
The club reserves the right
to move away from this process in circumstances
where there are serious or dangerous breaches
of the Code

Code
Of Conduct for Parents/Spectators
Parents/Spectators
have a great influence on children's enjoyment
and success in football. All children play
football because they first and foremost love
the game - it's fun. It is important to remember
that however good a child becomes at football
within the club it is important to reinforce
the message to parents/spectators that positive
encouragement will contribute to:
- Children enjoying football
- a sense of personal achievement
- self-esteem
- assist to improve the child's skills and techniques
A parent's/spectator's expectations and attitude
have a significant bearing on a child's attitude
towards;
- other players
- officials
- managers
- spectators
Ensure that parents/spectators within the club
are always positive and encouraging towards all
the children, not just their own.
Encourage parents/spectators to;
- applaud the opposition as well as your own
team
- avoid coaching the child during the game
- not to shout and scream
- give attention to each of the children involved
in football not just the most talented
- give encouragement to everyone to participate
in football
Ensure that parents/spectators within the club
agree and adhere to the clubs Code of Conduct
and Child Protection Policy
