It should be read in conjunction with the rules of England Hockey, North and Yorkshire Hockey Leagues, the Rules of Hockey and the England Hockey Code of Discipline. Each individual is accountable for his or her own actions. Whether you are playing, watching, coaching or umpiring any match, it is your personal responsibility to treat your own team, opposition players, coaches spectators and the umpires with respect before, during and after the match. There are additional responsibilities placed on individuals and these are detailed below: Interaction with Umpires: It is important to recognise that a game of Hockey cannot take place without the presence of two umpires. Abuse of an umpire whether verbal or physical will not be tolerated. Anyone receiving more than one yellow card for verbal abuse will be considered for suspension by the club. Never argue with an umpire. If you have a query, ask your captain to approach the umpire at half time or after the game in a calm and courteous manner to get clarification. Do not pursue discussions in the changing rooms. Positive discussion between the players and the umpires is actively encouraged during the post match refreshment. Pre game: On match days please arrive at the place stipulated at the correct time, ring the team captain or coach if you think you are going to be late. Make sure you have mobile numbers to contact your team captain or other members of your team and let them know yours so you can be contacted. Anyone who turns up obviously the worse for wear from the previous nights socialising, should not be surprised to find themselves in a lower team the following week. Do not knock balls up on the side of the pitch when another game is in progress. It is good policy not to go the pitch until the previous game has finished. Warm-up properly before the game and warm down after the game, it prevents injury and contributes to the teams success. Kit: The club colours are Orange shirts Black shorts Black / Black & Orange socks Changed Strip White shirts Black shorts Black / Black & Orange socks. Please bring the correct kit to all games the club can be fined for not wearing the right kit in league games. The captain will be responsible for bringing the away shirts when required. All players must have numbered shirts with no duplicates. Yorkshire Leagues have recommended that all players should have a shirt with their unique club number, please consider this when ordering new kit. During the Game The Captain/Coach is responsible for the conduct of their team and spectators for the duration of the game. Do not put him under pressure by poor behaviour. A team can consist of 16 players, hence rolling substitutions should be expected. Whilst off the pitch wear a different colour top from your playing strip. Only warm up on your side of the team/bench area, not in front of any opposition bench or that half of the pitch. Coaches/managers should stay in designated area close to the half way line and not cross over into the other half. Substituted players are expected to act with dignity, and to contribute to the teams efforts by supporting their teammates. If you need a rest to recover from injury or for any other reason just ask to be substituted, it may help the team and your own performance. During the Captain/Coachs team talks have the courtesy to listen to what is being said. He only has a few minutes to put his points across, please do not interrupt or start rival conversations. Dont criticize or remonstrate with your teammates every player has off days, it could be you next week, therefore encourage and support. Keep hold of your stick, throwing it away in a rage will not help you tackle the opposition nor will it help your own team build the next attack. Discipline This club wants to achieve an exemplary record, and it should go without saying that those who undermine our efforts in this area are risking their future with the club. We will not tolerate players getting booked or sent off. It gets the club a bad name and contrary to what some might believe, it does not help us to win matches. We expect umpires to be treated with respect before, during and after the game. If you receive a yellow card: Leave the pitch quickly and under control, so that the game can be restarted without undue delay. Stay in the designated area and sit quietly take time to reflect on your actions, take your punishment and learn from it. Return to the field of play on when asked to return by the Umpires Disciplinary Procedure: Our clubs disciplinary committee will review what additional action should be taken 3 Yellow Cards will result in a players case being considered by the disciplinary committee 1 Red Card will result in a players case being considered by the disciplinary committee A player may receive a fine or suspension by the Disciplinary committee, whichever is deemed necessary by the Disciplinary Committee Excessive numbers of cards mean our reputation will be severely tarnished. Unprovoked aggression, intimidation and verbal abuse are not acceptable at this club. Racist abuse will not be tolerated. Spectators: Parents, ex-players, friends and others are always welcome to attend matches. It is a requirement of the North Hockey League that ALL spectators stay at the opposite side of the ground from the team area. This is recommended for all games please comply with this request, regardless of the weather. Show respect for your teams opponents and the umpires-without them there would be no game. Respect the umpires decisions and positively support your own team and remember nobody makes a mistake on purpose, positive encouraging comments can be motivational. Post-Game Warm down and stay together as a team regardless of the result. It helps with any following matches if you do this off the playing area Do not approach the umpires and opponents on the pitch immediately after the game in an aggressive or abusive manner. At the end of the game always thank the umpires and shake hands with your opponents. Weekly subs (amount to be decided at the Annual General Meeting) should be paid to the team captain or nominees on the day of the game. It is your responsibility to seek him/her out and pay, not for him to chase you, it should not be considered a game to avoid payment. Try to get back to the clubhouse or pub for a beer and encourage the opposition to come back also. This is the best time to seek clarification with umpires as mentioned earlier. Try speaking to members of the other team. Training Serious contenders for places in any team are expected to attend training regularly. We go to training to get fit, to develop team spirit and to practice set pieces. It follows that, if you are not training regularly, you cant be as fit as you need to be and cannot be part of a team. Regularly attend and work hard during training sessions a player who fails to train is training to fail. If you cant attend training let your captain or coach know. Communication If you do not attend training, ring your captain/coach to find out which team you are in at the weekend. It is far less hassle for many to make one phone call than for one to make many! Keep captains informed of your availability. If you have a point to make to your captain, coach or a committee member, about team selection or other matters, that is your right, but please dont rant at him in a crowded bar or on the touchline. Ring him or see him at training, or talk to him in the club. Lets not wash our dirty linen in public. General If you think theres a lot of responsibility spread around a small number of people, youre right! If anyone would like to volunteer for any job within the club, your offer would be gratefully received. Please make new members feel welcome. And finally, enjoy yourself, thats why we play, we want to win but we also want to win fairly and squarely.
