We’re here to enjoy ourselves…win, lose or draw.

We embrace our differences, football is a game for everyone.

We’re a team, on and off the pitch. 

·        Encourage team-mates if they make a mistake.

·       Team captains need to try hard to set a positive example for others to follow.

We all have a role in safeguarding children.
