Players
1. Always remember that you are representing Fingal Ravens, not just yourself or your own team.
2. Trust and show respect for your team mentors. Acknowledge that they are human, that they are volunteers, not professionals, and will make mistakes.
3. Always let your mentors know well in advance, if you cannot attend a training session and, especially, if you will not be available for a match.
4. Always wear the correct, clean Fingal Ravens kit and any other sportswear as specified by your mentors.
5. Try to make your teammates' contribution as productive as possible, in training and in matches, by encouraging rather than criticising.
6. Before games, remain with your teammates and obey your mentors' instructions in relation to behaviour in the dressing room or on the pitch.
7. Work equally hard for your team as for yourself. Don't be a show-off or a glory-hunter.
8. Show respect for the referee and officials and be aware that they are likely to respond unfavourably when criticised. Do not question their decisions or give backchat. Give your name if asked and accept the referee's approach responsibly, without dissent. Do not touch any match official, even if your purpose is well intentioned.
9. Always remember that you owe a duty of care to your opponents. Play hard but fairly and within the rules, do not intend to hurt your opponent. Do not "bully" or take advantage of any player.
10. Control your temper and most of all, resist the temptation to retaliate when you feel you have been wronged. Do not react to intimidating tactics from opponents.
11. Do not leave your position on the field to get involved in any way in an incident elsewhere on or off the field.
12. Concentrate on playing the game and on affecting the outcome of the game with your best efforts.
13. Don't use foul or offensive language at matches. Be aware that you act as role models for younger members.
14. Do not, verbally or otherwise, abuse any player or person involved with the opposing team on the grounds of race or colour. Such behaviour is unethical and against the law.
15. Always shake hands with the players of the opposing team when games have finished and thank the referee for the match. Go quietly with your teammates to your team's dressing room.
16. Always respect the facilities made available to you, both at Fingal Ravens and away from home.
17. Remember that the goals of the game are to have fun, improve skills and feel good.
18. Win with humility - lose with dignity.
