Players Code of Conduct

When playing football in training or matches, my son/daughter will: 

• Always play to the best of his/her ability and for the benefit of the class or team
• Play fairly – He/She won’t cheat, dive, complain or waste time
• Be positive and respect his/her team-mates, the other teams, the referee or their coach and Tekkerz staff
• Play by the rules, as directed by the referee/coach
• Be gracious in victory or defeat – He/She will shake hands with the other teams and the referee/coach at the end
• Respect the Referee’s/coach’s decisions even when they don’t agree with them
• Listen and respond to what the coach or Tekkerz staff tell them
• Understand that a coach must do what is best for the team and not one individual player

I understand that if my son/daughter does not follow the Code, any/all the following actions may be taken by the club:

• Players receive a verbal warning from the Coach/Tekkerz staff
• Players receive a formal warning (yellow card) from the coach. If in a class, be removed from the class, asked to leave the venue only when supervised or suspended from the next class. If in a match, be given no game time, be substituted, asked to leave the venue when supervised or suspended from the next match.
• Parents of players given warnings will be notified by either WhatsApp, or phone, and may be required, depending on the severity of the case, to attend a meeting with the Club’s Head of Sport
• Players will be required to apologise to their team-mate(s) and if necessary, in matches, the other team, referee or team manager
• In the event of a serious case of infringement, the Club reserves the right to remove a player from the Tekkerz program and/or team squads
