The Leaders of MCCFC feel it is appropriate for everyone to know the levels of behaviour that are expected from all players and supporters as soon as they join the club. The Code of Conduct is designed to increase the enjoyment of all people who come into contact with our club in any way.
- Foul Language is forbidden at all times. This includes before, during and after games, at training sessions and at all events organised by the club. Players who swear during matches may be substituted if they have not already been sent off.
- Sporting behaviour is encouraged at all times. The way we play is more important than the result. Do to others as you would have them do to you-Luke 6:31.
- Children: Setting the right example to young spectators at games in terms of language and behaviour is very important. All players are role models and will be being watched by young eyes at most matches & training sessions.
- Socialising after matches is an important part of the club. This develops team spirit and players are requested to meet for at least a short while after every game. We meet at the Lord Hotham in Walton Road as soon as possible after matches, partners and children are very welcome. The landlord kindly provide sandwiches and crisps free of charge. We would like every player to attend as often as possible even for a soft drink. Naturally we discourage underage drinking of alcohol as we respect the laws of the land and the potential fine to the pub owners!
- Community Care: Players are encouraged to join in with any community projects that are designed to help make Molesey a better place to live.
All Players are expected to follow the code of conduct whenever representing Molesey Community Church Football Club.
The passage in the Bible that defines what we are about is:
“Do to others as you would have them do to you” Luke 6:31. This can be shown by:
- Not appealing when we know we have kicked the ball out
- Not deliberately handling the ball to prevent the opposition scoring Not time-wasting when leading
- Not standing in front of someone about to take a free kick
- Not kicking the ball away
- Not arguing with a referee or linesman
- Not arguing with the opposition
- Not pulling someone’s shirt
- Not complaining at a team-mate when they make a mistake
- Not expecting everyone else to put the nets up & take them down
- Not waiting for everyone else to buy a round first!
By doing the right thing first many people will be impressed and copy, sadly people will also copy bad behaviour and try to be even worse! Let’s buck the trend………
