Codes of Conduct
A Code of Conduct for Football
Football is the national game. All those involved with the game at every level and whether as a player, match official, coach, owner or administrator, have a responsibility, above and beyond compliance with the law, to act accordingly to the highest standards of integrity, and to ensure that the reputation of the game is, and remains, high.
Community
Football, at all levels, is a vital part of a community. Football will take into account community feeling when making decisions.
Equality
Football is opposed to discrimination of any form and will promote measures to prevent it, in whatever form, from being expressed.
Participants
Football recognises the sense of ownership felt by those who participate at all levels of the game. This includes those who play the game, those who coach or help in any way and those who officiate, as well as administrators and supporters. Football is committed to appropriate consultation.
Young People

Code of Conduct for Coaches (and Team Managers)
Coaches are key to the establishment of ethics in football. Their concept of ethics is that their attitude directly affects the behaviour of players under their supervision. Coaches are, therefore, expected to pay particular care to the moral aspect of their conduct.
Coaches have to be aware that almost all of their everyday decisions and choices of actions, as well as strategic targets, have an ethical implication.
It is natural that winning constitutes a basic concern for coaches. This code is not intended to conflict with that. However, the code calls for coaches to disassociate themselves from a “win-at-all-costs” attitude.
Increased responsibility is requested from coaches involved in coaching young people. The health, safety, welfare and moral education of young people are a first priority, before the achievement or the reputation of the club, coach or parent.
Set out below are the F.A. Coaches Association Code of Conduct (which reflects the standards expressed by the National Coaches Foundation and the National Association of Sports Coaches) which forms thy benchmark for all involved in coaching:
1. Coaches must respect the rights, dignity and worth of each and every person and treat equally within the context of the sport.
2. Coaches must place the well being and safety of each player above all other considerations, including the development of performance.
3. Coaches must adhere to all the guidelines laid down by the governing body.
4. Coaches must develop am appropriate working relationship with each player based on mutual trust and respect.
5. Coaches must not exert undue influence to obtain personal benefit or gain.
6. Coaches must encourage and guild their players to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and performance.
7. Coaches must ensure that the activities they direct or advocate are appropriate for the age, maturity, experience and ability of the players.
8. Coaches should, at the outset clarify with the players (and where appropriate, parent) exactly what is expected of them and also what they are entitled to expect from their coach.
9. Coaches must co-operate fully with other specialists 9e.g. other coaches, officials, sports scientists, doctors, physiotherapists) in the best interests of the player.
10. Coaches must always promote the positive aspects of the sport (e.g. fair play) and never condone violations of the Laws of the Game, behaviour contrary to the spirit of the Laws of the Game or relevant rules or use of prohibited substances or techniques.
11. Coaches must consistently display high standards of behaviour and appearance.
12. Coaches must not use or tolerate inappropriate language.
