fun.
• Operate within the rules and spirit of your sport -help your players to understand
that playing by the rules is their responsibility.
• Relate to officials in a courteous and polite way.
• Implement relevant sport safety policies and practices.
• Implement policy and practices (and lead by example).

experience.

officiating - as well as playing.
• Promote a culturally tolerant environment.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants - regardless of their
gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
• Keep up to date with coaching practices and qualifications –ensure you
understand the principles of physical growth and development.
• Give young people the chance to try out different playing positions
• Comply with club’s child safe policy – ensure you are aware of your mandated
responsibility to report suspicion of child abuse and neglect. Complete the online
training on www.playbytherules.net.au.
• Ensure that any physical contact with a young person is appropriate –is it
necessary for the player’s skill development?
• Avoid developing any ‘special’ relationships with children – ensure that you
show no favouritism such as the offering of gifts or special treatment. This includes
intimate relationships and personal online social networking with team members.

3Code of Conduct
Players
• Play by the rules.
• Never argue with an official. - if you need clarification, have your captain, coach or
manager approach the official during a break or after the competition.
• Work equally hard for yourself and your team - your team’s performance will
benefit — so will you.
• Be a good sport - applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the
opposition.
• Show respect to and acknowledge opponents and officials -(e.g. shake hands
before and after the game and say things like ‘good luck’, ‘thanks for the game’,
‘thanks ref’, ‘three cheers for …’).
• Cooperate with your coach, team mates and opponents - without them there
would be no competition.
• Participate for your own enjoyment and benefit - not just to please parents and
coaches.
• Play fair — no verbal abuse of officials, sledging other players (including vilification)
or deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent.
• Respect the rights, dignity and worth of all participants - regardless of their
gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
• Do not expect or accept “special” favours from a coach or person involved in
team or club management.
• Speak to an adult you trust if you have an issue, feel unsafe or are concerned
about someone else.

5PLAYER EQUIPMENT
Shin Guards are essential safety equipment and are compulsory for each player before
they take to the field in training or matches. They will need to be of suitable size for the
player and necessary to reduce and prevent injury. These are worn under the socks which
help secure them in place and prevent movement when running.
It is also recommended soccer / football boots are worn as this assists greatly in slippery
conditions.
If parents are considering purchasing a soccer ball for their child the following sizes are
standard and recommended by FIFA (World Soccer governing body). Larger soccer balls are
harder to control and delay skill development in children. These sizes will be used with
children at training and on match days.
Ball sizes shall be:
(a) Under 7, 8 and 9 age groups a size three (3)
(b) Under 10, 11 and 12 age groups a size four (4)
(c) Under 13 and over a size five (5) ball.
During the middle of winter season sun protection is generally not needed, however during
early Autumn and mid-late Spring we recommend a sports sun block be worn when the UV
index is moderate to high and ask that it is applied prior to the scheduled start time.
COLOURS & Uniform
The YPSA Inc. Committee has purchased new uniform shirts for all Under 12 and Under 17
players, thanks to sponsors Be A Sport Wallaroo and The Bellagio Kadina. Shirts will be
distributed at the beginning of each match and collected at the end of each match. Players
will need to supply their own black shorts and long black socks.
Previous season strips will be available to purchase at reduced price in the first few weeks
for all players who want them. We encourage players and Miniroos to purchase a strip to
use for training purposes. Miniroos will be provided with a bib for Sundays to differentiate
teams.
YPSA Inc. Parent and Player Information Booklet. 2019 season
6DURATION OF LEAGUE & ASSOCIATION CUP MATCHES
The duration of all Mini Roo’s league and cup matches conducted under the auspices of the
YPSA Inc. with the exception of the Carnival, shall be:
Under 6s and 8s Mini Roos 45 minutes of games and activities
Under 12s 20 minutes each half
Under 16s 25 minutes each half
CHILD SAFE ENVIRONMENT
It is important that people involved in clubs are there for the right reasons.
A change in legislation in January 2011 states that all paid or volunteer persons holding a
‘prescribed position’ within a club/school/association will now be required to undertake a
‘criminal history assessment’.
All volunteers of YPSA Inc. are required to satisfactorily pass a National Criminal History
Clearance before participation in YPSA Inc. coaching, umpiring or volunteering and all YPSA
Inc. committee members have undergone Child Safe Environment training as a requirement
for participation on the committee.
Please speak with YPSA Inc. committee member if you wish to join the group of volunteers
developing soccer on the Yorke Peninsula. We would be happy to support new volunteers to
obtain a National Criminal History and join the committee. As we are affiliated with FFSA, all
costs to volunteers for Criminal History check are nil.
We currently require volunteers for all roles and should we have large a number of player
registrations there may need to be a player cap imposed due to limited Coaching and
support staff.
