FJFC Player Cultural Framework
CULTURE - a way of life - the ideas and social behavior of a particular group of people
VALUES - principles or standards of behaviour, one’s judgement of what is important in life
ENVIRONMENT - the surroundings or conditions in which a person lives or operates
FJFC is focused on providing an environment where our players that represent the club understand and demonstrate commitment in their responsibilities
to the club, their coaches, team mates and the community. The FJFC Coaches have committed to a set of values, being:
TEAMWORK - RESPECT - MENTORING.
RESPECT is the value FJFC players must have at the forefront of their mind, and as the representatives of our club must demonstrate this value at all
times, both on and off the ground.
ON GROUND Respect for :
Umpires - no back chat (they will never change their mind) have an awareness of your body language (no negativity).
Opponents - play hard & disciplined, make the ball your objective.
Opposition coaches, officials & supporters - they shouldn’t have an impact on you.
Opposition players - post game always shake hands, put your own feelings on hold (be the better person).
OFF (& ON) GROUND Respect for :
Other FJFC players - same age group, gender, younger players - ONE CLUB mentality (nobody is any better than anyone else at our club).
Our coaches & officials - listen, engage, attempt to carry out instructions (communicate).
FJFC jumper - it has a lot of history, wear it with pride and look after it (please don’t ever throw it on the ground).
The environment that is provided for you - club rooms, training equipment etc.
The community - be proud of the position you hold as a FJFC player (live up to it) - use of social media (no comments on umpires, coaches, opposition).
DISCIPLINE - a commitment how you go about your footy :
Training - turn up with the mindset to work hard (train as you play).
Respect & Discipline
Preparation - leave nothing to chance, turn up on time & ready to go.
Communication - open, honest, respectful (when you are in control of your emotions). If you’re running late let someone know in advance.
Team Rules - stick to them, be predictable to team mates.
Player Code of Conduct - signing of PCOC is considered as being in agreement with cultural framework.
If you break team rules or go about your footy without a level of respect or discipline - there will be consequences (don’t do anything that will cost the
team). Any penalties to be determined by coaches and/or coach development committee and/or FJFC conduct processes.
FJFC culture will be of playing hard, disciplined footy - we respect the game & our opponents.
Respect and your reputation - is earned not given, built up over a long period of time. It can be lost in a moment.
