Code of Conduct
On and off the pitch, I will:
Always play the game fairly and in the right spirit.
Be aware of the impact of bad language, keeping spectators and members of the public, including children, in mind.
Avoid criticising match officials. Accept that they make honest decisions and confronting them will not change it.
Never verbally abuse a match official, player or spectator based on their appearance, race, religion, gender, or sexuality. Doing so could lead to dismissal from the field, suspension and possible police action.
Never physically assault a match official, player or spectator. Doing so could lead to dismissal from the field, suspension and possible police action.
Always win, lose or draw with dignity, and be prepared to shake hands with match officials, opposition players and manager at full-time.
I understand, if I do not follow the Code of Conduct, I may expect to:
Be cautioned, sin binned or sent off by the match officials, depending on the nature of the offence.
Be asked to apologise to whoever I have offended or abused.
Be disciplined by Bournemouth WFC, including being substituted, dropped, given a formal warning or suspended from training or matches depending on the nature of the offence.
Be disciplined by the County Football Association, including being fined or suspended for a number of matches depending on the nature of the offence.
Be handed a permanent exclusion by the FA or County Football Association, if the offence is deemed serious enough.
