Club code of conduct (for all members)

General Code of Conduct

Club members are expected to arrive punctually at the start time of any training or community event or 30 minutes before any stated kick off time for matches.

Entry and exit to the field at designated gates
Parents are not to leave their children unattended at training without first informing the relevant coach or committee member and leaving contact details.
Be respectful to all throughout the duration of any FCYFC activities.
Do not argue with club or match officials, members or team mates, or opposition.
Abusive language will not be tolerated
The coach or referee decision is final and to be respected at all times
Good sportsmanship is expected at all times – good play is always acknowledged but criticism is
withheld.

Participation in safe, enjoyable sport is primary above result or score.

Falmouth School Code of Conduct

Only enter or exit from specified gates
No dogs, on or off the lead are allowed at any time on site
Any litter will be disposed of responsibly
The pitch is looked after: please use designated spectator areas. These will often move allowing the grass to grow
Sports Hub facilities are available for our use but please use responsibly and with respect.
Do not allow young children to wander the site alone.

Yellow and Red Card system (managed by the Welfare Team)

Stage 1 The coach (plus one other) will have an informal chat with the player and explain that their behaviour does not follow the Club Code of Conduct.
Stage 2 If there is no improvement at future training then a YELLOW CARD will be issued by the Welfare Officer to the parent by email. The area of concern and ideas for improvement will be explained to the player and parent.
Stage 3 If there is still no improvement then a second YELLOW CARD will be emailed to the individual. The parent/guardian will be asked to accompany the child to future training sessions.
Stage 4 If the bad behaviour continues then a RED CARD will be issued and may result in match bans and worst case scenario, suspension from the club.

Thank you for your understanding and the integral part you all play in making Falmouth Community Youth Football Club so successful. We are sure you appreciate that our ultimate responsibility is for the safe and fun participation for ALL of the children.

We ask that every child and their parent or guardian read the code of conduct fully. Adults: please explain
the code of conduct to your children, and explain that ALL are expected to abide by it.
