Our definition of success. We know we are succeeding if the childern turn up to play again next year.

To achieve our definition of success the Bramcote Football Club values and goals are as follows.

• to provide a positive learning environment in which children can develop their football skills;
• to ensure children of all abilities recieve a fair chance;
• to ensure the children develop a love for the game of football, have fun and enjoy themselves;
• to develop the social skills of the children;
• to develop the skills of our coaches on a constinual basis.

We also recognise that we have an obligation to instill in our players:

• the need to respect the coach, the club and each other;
• the understanding that not everyone has the same level of ability;
• to always try their best;
• to respect the referee and the laws of the game;
• to respect the opposition and be both a gracious winner and a gracious loser.

The role of our coaches is to impart the above values and goals to the children. Their success (and our own), will be defined by the numbers of players who turn up to play again next year and not by the number of championships won.

The role of club officials is to support the coaches in developing and implementing the above values and goals and to help parents/guardians achieve the values set out below.

Values for Parent/guardians

To help the club achieve the above, only positive encouragment and comment is allowed from the sideline. Please do not abuse the referee, shout at your child (including the shouting instructions), or engage in any behaviour which is counter-productive. Please read and abide by the Clubs Code of Conduct.
