CODE OF CONDUCT
YOUTH
TRAINING:
*I am aware that training commences at 5pm and finishes at 6:30pm. I arrive early to training so that I am ready to begin training at 5pm.
*During training, I will not make reference to any SWSA club, and especially not denigrate or make any comment pertaining to a SWSA club which could be construed as offensive or insulting.
*If I cannot attend training, I will notify the coach by phone call or SMS to inform him of such. I understand that failure to do so will leave the coach believing that I am injured or not continuing to play South West Phoenix.
MATCHDAY:
*I will wear, and come equipped with,the attire and equipment supplied to me by South West Phoenix. That is, Black Polo shirt, Jacket, and bag. I have taken it upon myself to buy black dress pants and black dress shoes, which I will wear along with the above stated items. I understand that failure to wear this will result in me not playing.
*It is solely my responsibility to bring my playing strip of shirt, shorts and socks each week. I am also accountable for maintaining the standard of the strip. If I don’t bring the strip to a game, I won’t be playing. If my strip is not in as new condition for each match, I will not be playing either. Should I lose my strip, I will not be able to play until I have paid the full cost for a new strip.
*The strip is for playing purposes only. It is never to be worn anywhere but during the warm up and in the match. It is never to be worn in public unless otherwise advised so by the committee.
*I will eat for the last time prior to a match a minimum of 90minutes before kick off. I will not eat hot or cooked food at the ground or on the way to the ground as this diminishes my performance. Food full or Glucose and other sugar filled foods, such as “Starburst” give me a boost for 20minutes, then actually diminish my ability to perform.I understand that failure to comply with these guidelines will see me relegated to the substitutes bench automatically. Prior to matches I will consume fruit or bread rolls along with water and/or sports drinks.
*For home matches, I will arrive at the Soccerdrome no later than 10:15am. Upon arrival, my first task will be to ensure all equipment for the days play is erected, such as putting up nets,corner flags etc. If I don’t arrive prior to 10:15am,I will automatically be on the bench, unless I have an exceptionally good reason.
*The coaching staff has the last say on all matters and failure to comply will result on disciplinary action. I accept the coaching staffs decisions regardless of whether I believe they are right or wrong. I am aware I can approach the coach at any time to discuss matters, but if I am not comfortable doing so, I will approach the Captain and he will do so.
