Seniors Players Code of Conduct

We want our teams to be competitive, to back each other and believe they can be successful on and off the pitch. But we also know football is a competitive game and we are not perfect people and we as a club will try to be the best witness we all can.
This code of conduct was set in place to help define Ambassadors FC and give the club a clear identity. The code of conduct is to be upheld at all times by all AFC members.
The views and opinion’s of players and staff were taken into account when setting the
code of conduct at a meeting before training on 3/9/08.
