Player Code of Behaviour

Players are asked to read & discuss the Club’s Players Code of Behaviour. Outlined also are the consequences of any breaches to the code, which applies to training & games.

Code of Behaviour

  • Play by the rules.
  • Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your captain, coach or manager approach the official during a break or after the competition. Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials and sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not acceptable or permitted behaviours in any sport.
  • Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team. Your team’s performance will benefit, so will you.
  • Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition.
  • Treat all participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take advantage of another competitor.
  • Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents. Without them there would be no competition.
  • Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit, not just to please parents and coaches.
  • Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.

Breaches at Games

Any breaches at games will be handled by the Canberra Nepalese Football Club.

In the event of any disciplinary action being taken by the CNFC, the club will notify the Recipient, Caregiver (If Recipient is Under 18 Years), Coach & Manager, by phone or in person.

Breaches at Training

Any breaches at training will be handled by the CNFC as detailed.

The following applies to Players only.

Any other issues will be dealt with by the Management Committee as they arise.

IF THE CODE IS BREACHED AT TRAINING THE FOLLOWING WILL HAPPEN.

  • First offence – Warning from Coach.
  • Repeat offence – Sent off the field for time out.
  • Serious breach – Expelled from that day’s training, caregivers are notified of the incident (If player is under 18 years). The club management committee will then consider appropriate disciplinary action.

Responsibilities of Players/Parents

The Club has adopted the Australian Sports Commission’s “Codes of Behavior”, Child & Youth Risk Management Strategy and the CNFC Social Media Policy. This applies to players, coaches, officials, parents, administrators, volunteers, and spectators. Team Managers will have a copy of these all individuals associated with the club are asked to read & must agree to be bound by its requirements.

The Australian Sports Commission Code of Behaviour also highlights parents. One of the most important messages is for parents to remember this and not attempt to relive our own sporting prowess or dreams through our children so that too much pressure is placed upon them. Everyone involved with the Canberra Nepalese Football Club has a responsibility to model appropriate behavior and relationships.
