Sporting Moseley Football Club will hereafter be known as 'The Club'.
Aim of the Club - The aim of The Club is to organise regular competitive football games played within the
Birmingham Coronation League between August and May.
Club Meetings - The Club will meet up after every home game to discuss any club business.
Representation at League Meetings – The Club will be represented by the manager and/or his nominated
deputy/ies. These meetings are held every month and any resulting issues from these meetings will be passed
on to The Clubs members.
Accounts - The Clubs financial year commences on the 1st September in each year and a balance sheet shall
be produced by the Club Treasurer at the end of each month and forwarded to its members
Players - Players will only be eligible to play for the Club in league and cup matches when they have signed a
correctly completed official league registration form, countersigned by a Club representative, and paid the
Clubs annual registration fee. Any player under the age of 18 at the time of registration will need to supply a
parent’s signature of consent before the club will take them on. (see manager for form) No player can be
registered by the Club after the 31st March in any season.
Registration Rules - Any player registered with the club may not register with or play for any other club,
registered with the Birmingham Coronation League, within the same season, without first being officially
transferred, as per the league rules, via the Club and league secretaries.
Training - Although it is recognised that players have other important commitments such as work etc, it is
appreciated by the team managers if players make every effort to attend team training sessions on a regular
basis.
Match Days - All players (including substitutes) selected for a particular league or cup match will be required
(a) to sign the official match sheet in order to ensure that only properly registered players have played, and

(b) to ensure that they arrive at the pre-arranged meeting place at the correct time with their full kit. Any
players that arrive late will be fines £1, the money will be used for an end of season night out.
Squad Members - Attendance at matches by squad members who have not been selected to play is
encouraged in order to give the team vocal support and to promote team spirit amongst the whole squad. It
should be emphasised that all members of the squad are important to the team and any player not selected
for any particular match must not consider himself unwanted in any way. A settled side is of course
preferable and unfortunately only 11 players and 5 substitutes can be selected for any match, but
opportunities will arise during the course of the season through injuries, unavailability etc. for EVERY
registered player to establish himself as a regular member of the team. The team managers’ selection shall
be final and binding.
Unavailability - If, after confirming his availability for a forthcoming match to his team manager, a player
subsequently finds that for some reason he is unable to play (e.g. injury or illness) he must contact his team
manager AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that a replacement can be notified at the earliest opportunity. This also
applies to training sessions. Failure to report any absence before the start of a match or training session will
result in a £5 fine
Postponed Matches - In order to avoid unnecessary journeys, team managers will endeavour to contact all
selected players as soon as they receive confirmation that any match has been postponed. The general rule
therefore is that players must turn up for the match at the appointed time unless prior advice is received
from the team manager to the contrary. However if any player is in doubt about whether or not a match will
be played owing to poor weather conditions etc. he should contact his team manager for up to date
information in this respect.
Transport - The Club is dependent upon help from players with transport to away matches and any assistance
in this respect is always especially welcomed and much appreciated by the Club and more importantly by the
players.
Conduct - The Club management is very keen on sportsmanship being shown by all players at all times, both
on and off the pitch. Bad sportsmanship of any kind will not be tolerated and any players displaying
unsporting behaviour will be liable to immediate substitution or suspension by the Club for at least one
match. Dissent at a referee’s decision will particularly be frowned upon in this respect. A referee will not
change his decision once made and constant dissent and moans will simply antagonise a referee. Any player
guilty of foul or abusive language or unnecessarily violent play during a match will similarly be liable to
immediate substitution or suspension, in addition to any fines or penalties which might be imposed by the
league or regional football association. Players should remember whenever they are attending any event
connected with Sporting Moseley Football Club, whether a match or some other Club function, that they are
representing the Club and should always conduct themselves accordingly.
Club Image - The image of the Club must be foremost at ALL times, and managers will be held responsible
for their own conduct, as well as their deputies, players and spectators. Constant tarnishing of the Club's
image could result in the offending person being dismissed from the Club.
Fines - Player's fines must be paid by the player NOT the Club. Failure to pay fines and return any relevant
forms to the County FA will result in the player being suspended from playing.
Kit – Any player joining the squad for their first season is required to buy their own kit before being allowed
to play their first match for the team. All monies must be paid in advance of ordering.
Financial Priorities - The first priority of the squad is to ensure that all its obligations as regards pitch fees,
registration to the league and referees fees are met before any other financial obligations are undertaken.
Registration - All players are required to pay a £20 fee on registering with the team for the season. A valid
mobile phone number and email address should be forwarded to the manager on registration.
Subs - Any player not up to date with their subs without a valid reason, will not be eligible to play and will
be placed on suspension. Further disregard to payment will result in the offending player being dismissed
from the Club. Any player rejoining the team owing subs from the previous season will be required to agree
extra payment to clear the arrears.
Age Groups – The Club is classed as a junior team and players need to be 16 years old and above to play. (see
rule 6)
