Code of Conduct

Dingle United FC Code of Conduct


 1. Play to Win
Winning is the object of playing any game. Never set out to lose. If you do not play to win, you are cheating your opponents, deceiving those who are watching, and also fooling yourself. Never give up against stronger opponents but never relent against weaker ones. It is an insult to any opponent to play at less than full strength. Play to win, until the final whistle.
2. Play Fair
Winning is without value if victory has been achieved unfairly or dishonestly.
Cheating is easy, but brings no pleasure. Playing fair requires courage and character. It is also more satisfying. Fair Play always has its reward, even when the game is lost. Playing fair earns you respect, while cheats are detested.
Remember: It's only a game. And games are pointless unless played fairly.
3. Observe the Laws of the Game
All games need rules to guide them. Without rules, there would be chaos.
The rules of football are simple and easy to learn. Make an effort to learn them, so you understand the game better. This makes you a better player.
It is just as important to understand the spirit of the rules. They are designed to make the game fun to play and fun to watch. By sticking to the rules, you will enjoy the game more.
4. Respect Opponents, Referees and Officials
Fair Play means respect. Opponents should be respected at all times. Referees are there to maintain discipline and Fair Play. Always accept their decisions without arguing. Abusive or foul language will not be tolerated. Officials are also part of the game and must be respected accordingly.
5. Accept Defeat with Dignity
Nobody wins all the time. Learn to lose graciously. Congratulate the winners with good grace. Don't blame the referee or anyone else. Good losers earn more respect than bad winners.
6. Reject Drugs, Racism and Violence
Watch out for attempts to tempt you into cheating or using drugs. Drugs have no place in football or any other sport or in our society. Say No to Drugs. Help Kick Racism out of Football. Treat all players and everyone else equally, regardless of their skin colour, origin or religion.

7. Promote the Interests of Dingle United  FC 
Dingle United FC is your club. It always needs your help to keep it as Number One. Contribute to the club by promoting the club. Contribute to the fund-raising ventures as much as you can. Encourage other people to join or watch. Support and encourage club teams other than your own. Help the club achieve its aims. Be an ambassador for the club. Be proud of the club.
