FA Respect: Code of Conduct for Players
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.
As a player, you have a big part to play. That's why the FA is asking every player to follow a Respect Code of Conduct.

When playing football, I will:
Always play to the best of my ability
Play fairly - I won't cheat, complain or waste time
Respect my team-mates, the other team, the referee or my coach/manager
Play by the rules, as directed by the referee
Shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game
Listern and respond to what my coach/team manager tells me
Talk to someone I trust or the club welfare officer if I'm unhappy about everything at my club.
I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club, County FA or the FA:
I may:
Be required to apologise to my team-mates, the other team, referees or team manager
Receive a formal warning from the coach or the club committee
Be dropped or substituted
Be suspended from training
Be required to leave the club.
I addition:
My club, County FA or the FA may make my parent or carer aware of any infringements of the Code of Conduct
The FA/County FA could impose a fine and suspension against my club.
