Code of Conduct of Victorian Champions League Parents & Players
The Victorian Champions League has been created by the FFV to provide a talent identification and development program which is in keeping with the directives of football’s governing body, Football Federation Australia. In establishing the League and managing its operations, particularly ‘on the ground’ coaching and administrative functions, FFV relies heavily on the goodwill and support of a number of volunteers.
Players and parents are reminded that these volunteers are giving their time and expertise to help grow the game and provide participants and opportunity to grow their football careers, and that most do so at their own expense or with only basic reimbursement.
It is for this reason, that FFV expects all players and their parents to conduct themselves in a manner which is respectful and supportive at all times and encourages everyone to abide by the following:
· Ensure that all comments or questions directed at any coaching or administrative staff are directed politely and constructively;
· Be respectful of the coach’s time and consider that he/she has a number of players and parents to communicate with and it is in the best interests of the team to give all of them equal opportunity for feedback;
· Be mindful of the roles coaches and administrators are required to fulfil at training and on match days and understand that they may not be available for discussing issues unless previously arranged;
· Avoid approaching coaches or administrators with questions or concerns ‘unannounced’, particularly at training sessions or match days, as it will be more constructive to make a pre-arranged time for discussion;
· Refrain from continually approaching coaching or administrative staff unless the matter is urgent and requires immediate attention;
· Recognise that the coach has a role to play in the development of all players as individuals and that this will occur over the entire season, not in isolated training sessions or single matches. Player game time and individual feedback will need to be managed by the coach over the duration of the VCL.
In all matters relating to conduct we refer to the FFV’s Codes of Behavior as laid out in the FFV’s Rules of Competition for Junior Boys/Girls Leagues.
Should either a player or parent breach these codes of conduct then we, as the North West Wanderers committee, have the right to deal with this matter directly after proper consultations. We reserve the right to suspend or expel players or parents from VCL games and not refund any of the player's fee.
