• Shake hands with the other team and the referee at the end of a game
• Listen and respond to what my manager/coach tells me
• Talk to someone I trust or the club welfare officer if I’m unhappy about anything at my club

I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following action may be taken by my club, County FA or the FA. I may:

• Be required to apologise to my team-mates, the other team, the referee and/or the team manager
