Club Documents

Personal appearance is of great importance when coaching, and although

individual taste will affect differences in appearance, the coach has a

responsibility to look clean, promote the club by wearing branded clothing

and project an image of functional efficiency at all times.

Coaches should never smoke while coaching.

Coaches should never coach under the influence of alcohol under any

circumstances.

Coaches should avoid using profanities during coaching sessions.

It is recommended that coaches should:

Consistently project a favourable image of the sport and of coaching to the

players they are working with, their parents/families/guardians, officials,

spectators and the general public.

Make sure that the level of activity carried out by the performers is suitable

for their age, strength, maturity and the ability of each individual performer.

Encourage appropriate behaviour by the performers during both training

and competition.

Encourage the performers to abide by the rules of American Football

(BAFA, BAFCA) . All performers should be encouraged to uphold the spirit

of the sport.

Make a positive effort to educate the performers as to the improper use of

substances that are on the sport’s banned drugs and substances list.

Help the performers to deal with victory and defeat in a sporting manner,

and encourage them at all times to treat opponents with due respect.
