The clubs primary objective is to promote football within the community at large to benefit those taking part and for the enjoyment of all whether they be Players, Managers, Coaches, Parents or Spectators.

Where Coaching/Training Sessions are organised, players are encouraged and assisted in developing their individual skills and overall team play in a controlled and well organised manner in order to allow them to gain the most from their game.

Please remember that those involved take their responsibilities seriously. However, in the main they are all volunteers and like you want enjoyment from their participation.

Subsequently, the club feels it necessary to remind everyone of their responsibilities by ensuring that they adhere to the following Code of Conduct.

1. Ensure that you arrive punctually when requested
2. Make sure that as a Player, you arrive with everything that is expected
3. Encourage and acknowledge skilful, lawful and sporting play
