PLAYER & PARENT COMMITMENT 2015-2016
At Hythe Stars and Stripes FC we pride ourselves on our supportive, inclusive and fair approach to football. We
recognise that as a club we have a responsibility to ensure that players receive positive coaching, playing and
social experiences. We recognise that all of our players have different strengths and talents and learn and
develop in different ways. We aim to be the best that we can be and accept that striving to win is as important
as winning itself. As a club, we take our responsibilities seriously and expect the following from our players and
parents.
