Club :…………………………….……...

hereby commit, to the best of my ability, to uphold the Yarra Junior Football League and AFL Coaches’ Code of

Conduct. I understand that as an integral component of my accreditation, I must maintain a standard of

behaviour and conduct in the best interests of the game and the players/staff in my care. In representing myself

in an honest manner, and without bringing the coaching profession or the Game into disrepute, I will endeavour

to uphold the following to the best of my ability:

I will respect the rights, dignity and worth of all individuals within the context of my involvement in Australian

Football, by refraining from any discriminatory practices including, but not limited to, discrimination on the basis

of race, religion, gender, ethnic background, special ability/disability or sexual orientation, preference or identity.

I will abide by and teach the AFL Laws of the Game and the Rules of my Club and the by-laws of the Yarra

Junior Football League.

1. I have read the Yarra Junior Football League Coaches booklet and By-Laws.

2. I will be reasonable in the demands I make on the time commitments of the players in my care, having

due consideration for their health and wellbeing.

3. I will be supportive at all times and I will refrain from any form of personal or physical abuse or

unnecessary physical contact with the players in my care.

4. I will have due consideration for varying maturity and ability levels of my players when designing

practice schedules, practice activities and involvement in competition.

5. I will strive to ensure that all players gain equal playing time. I will avoid overplaying the talented

players, aiming to maximise participation, learning and enjoyment for all players regardless of ability.

6. I will stress and monitor safety always.

7. In recognising the significance of injury and sickness, I will seek and follow the physician’s advice

concerning the return of injured or ill players to training.

8. I will endeavour to keep informed regarding sound principles of coaching and skill development, and of

factors relating to the welfare of my players.

9. I will at all times display and teach appropriate sporting behaviour, ensuring that players understand and

practise fair play.

10. I will display and foster respect for umpires, opponents, coaches, administrators, other officials, parents

and spectators.

11. I will ensure that players are involved in a positive environment where skill-learning and development

are priorities and not overshadowed by a desire to win.

12. I reject the use of performance-enhancing substances in sport and will abide by the guidelines set forth

in the AFL Anti Doping and Illicit Drugs policies. I agree to the following terms:

a. I agree to abide by the AFL Coaches’ Code of Conduct.

b. I acknowledge that the YJFL may take disciplinary action against me if I breach the code of

conduct. I understand that the YJFL, or a body affiliated with the AFL, is required to implement

a complaints-handling procedure in accordance with the principles of natural justice, in the

event of an allegation against me.

c. I acknowledge that disciplinary action against me may include de-registration from the AFL

National Coaching Accreditation Scheme.
