CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

- Violence should be condemned, off and on the field

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR COACHES

- Be reasonable when making demands on the players’ time, energy and enthusiasm. Keep in mind that he has to cope with more than your demands
- Ensure that all players get an opportunity to play in a team
