The Dereham Code

I have always been proud of them both on and off the pitch - they don't [often] need reminding about the code ... all Dereham Players, Coaches, Parents & Guardians are asked to read our code of conducts - a code that governs our behaviour and provides a reference point if one is ever needed.

Gary Cockaday - DTFCU8/U9/U10 Manager

This is a work in progress ... but some extracts for now; we have copied all Parents & Players with the fuller version 

 Support all the boys - those playing & waiting

 Support Fair Play

 Appreciate the other team even if/when it hurts

 A New One - Win (or lose) with Class and remember always its the players who win lose or draw

 Respect the ref - even when you know he has made a mistake  

 Support the coaching team before during and after

 Let the coach coach and support him at all times - if you have a problem talk to him ***

 Be positive [always] win lose or draw

 Enjoy - in years to come these will be remembered as [some] the best of times

 Sometimes its the clearance/tackle that wins the game

and ... remember that no one gets it right all the time - the ref, the players, the coaches or [indeed] you - or for that matter me 

did i really say me  

*** ps this is a toughie [i know i have 2 of them] when talking to your boy's try to remain positive - if they are unhappy with time spent on the pitch or position played or whatever - try to keep it positive ... if you have a problem talk to Nath or me and whatever you do don't have that conversation mid game or in front of your child :)
