Part 2: PLAYERS
DO

• Arrive early to game site as per coaches instructions, well rested, fed and properly equipped.

• Listen to and obey the coach

• Listen to and obey the match official

• Pre game - Shake hands with the other team and the match officials. This would be facilitated by the match official at the touchline near the midfield stripe. This protocol would be a Key element of the Respect Campaign. It has been adopted by most top professional leagues and is shown to improve sportsmanship and respect for the other team.

• Compete to the best of one’s ability in a clean & fair manner. Treat other players like you would like to be treated. Show respect to get respect. Look out for the safety of other players on the field by keeping control of your body and actions.

• Acknowledge good play and effort on both teams & cheer in a positive and constructive manner.

• Stay seated on the team bench when not in the game unless warming up, or readying to substitute for a teammate.

• Execute a post game cheer for the other team and officials, shake hands of all.

DON’T

• Play in an unfair manner, cheat, or intentionally foul or try to hurt another player

• Use offensive, abusive or taunting language or behavior towards any player, coach or official, nor tolerate it amongst your teammates. Peer pressure is one of the most effective tools against bullying.

• Publicly Criticize the match official, other team or coach
