The management of Lordshill Church FC feel it is appropriate for
everyone to know the levels of behaviour that are expected from all
players and supporters as soon as they join the club. The Code of
Conduct is designed to increase the enjoyment of all people who come
into contact with our club in any way.
- Foul Language is forbidden at all times. This includes before,
during and after games, at training sessions and at all events
organised by the club. Players who swear during matches may be
substituted if they have not already been sent off.
- Sporting behaviour is encouraged at all times. The way we play is
more important than the result. Do to others as you would have them do
to you-Luke 6:31.
- Children: Setting the right example to young spectators at games in
terms of language and behaviour is very important. All players are role
models and will be being watched by young eyes at most matches& training sessions.
- Socialising after matches is an important part of the club. This
develops team spirit and players are requested to meet for at least a
short while after every game. We meet at the Balmoral PH on Romsey
Road, North Baddesley as soon as possible after matches, partners and
children are very welcome. We would like every player to attend as often as possible even for a soft drink. Naturally we discourage
underage drinking of alcohol as we respect the laws of the land and the
potential fine to the pub owners!
- Community Care: Players are encouraged to join in with any community
projects that are designed to help make Lordshill a better place to
live.
All Players are expected to follow the code of conduct whenever
representing Lordshill Church Football Club.
The passage in the Bible that defines what we are about is:
“Do to others as you would have them do to you” Luke 6:31. This can be
shown by:
- Not appealing when we know we have kicked the ball out
- Not deliberately handling the ball to prevent the opposition scoring
- Not time-wasting when leading
- Not standing in front of someone about to take a free kick
- Not kicking the ball away
- Not arguing with a referee or linesman
- Not arguing with the opposition
- Not pulling someone’s shirt
- Not complaining at a team-mate when they make a mistake
- Not expecting everyone else to put the nets up & take them down
- Not waiting for everyone else to buy a round first!
By doing the right thing first many people will be impressed and copy, sadly people will also copy bad behaviour and try to be even worse! Let’ s buck the trend………
