ARL Development recently designed a National Code of Conduct.

It covers all participants in our game: 

• Players 
• Coaches 
• Match Officials 
• Parents/Guardians and 
• Spectators

The Code of Conduct has three General Principles.  Every participant should:

• Discourage all instances of unsportsmanlike behavior, foul or illegal  play, or acts of violence, both on and off the field. 
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person regardless of their gender, ability/disability, sexual orientation, cultural background or religion. 
• Condemn the use of recreational and performance-enhancing drugs and doping practices; their use endangers the health of players and is contrary to the concept of fair play.

Your feedback on the Code of Conduct policy is welcome.  Queries should be addressed to the ARL Development Community Football Manager at graham@arldevelopment.com.au

The Code of Conduct is available for download:
