FELSINA CALCIO FOOTBALL SCHOOL
2017/2018 FOOTBALL SEASON
The Felsina Amateur Sports Club’s main objectives are fostering and spreading a healthy sports culture, capable of positively influencing the children’s personal, scholar and athletic growth, and a focus on merit inside and outside the field, based on clear and concise rules shared with the parents.
Felsina is not run for profit: incomes are reinvested in the development of the project itself.
These regulations comprise a series of rules that members and parents undertake to respect.
Each member must maintain at all times a line of behaviour and an attitude in accordance with the Club’s founding principles and to the objectives above stated. They must be considerate of teammates, supervisors, managers, opponents and Federal bodies.
The same behaviour is expected of all parents and relatives of the children enrolled in the Football School.

– Promptly contact the handlers of the Football School in case of tardiness, communicating to them the time necessary to manage their setback. In this case, a handler of the club will stay with the child until the arrival of the parent and /or of their representative to guarantee the safety of the child.

Parents and all members are encouraged to take note of the following notes, which have the sole goal of guaranteeing a serious and correct conduction of the Club’s activities:
1) Members who have signed the annual Federal card with their parents cannot sign another card in the same sports season. The penalty is the referral to the Sports Justice Bodies of the Italian Football Federation and subsequent disciplinary actions.

3) Each member/footballer is obliged to always behave politely and be respectful of others, both through language and manners. Everybody must be greeted, scurrilous language shall not be used, and profanity is especially prohibited. Teammates and opponents must always be respected. Disrespectful actions and behaviour will be sanctioned.

6) Each member/footballer must always play following the rules, respect fair-play and never engage in foul play. They must accept every decision taken by the referee, even when they do not seem fair, avoiding admonitions and expulsions due to protests, which could be sanctioned by the Coach and by the Club. It should be pointed out that only the captain can communicate with the referee, and only with the proper manners.
7) Each member/footballer must always treat the opponent with the utmost respect, without ever underestimating them and always winning with modesty and losing with dignity.

8) In case of continued rude behaviour and / or of little commitment, any member/footballer can be temporarily or permanently removed from the team.
9) Academic performance is an integral part of the Felsina socio-educational and athletic project. The athlete must be a committed scholar and achieve results consistent with their parents’ expectations. In case this didn’t happen, the Club, in accordance with the parents, could decide to implement disciplinary measures. Academic performance is always put before the athletic and technical aspects and on this subject the Club is uncompromising.
10) Every activity offered by the Club (events, tournaments, matches, assemblies, etc.), must be attended, respected and honoured.

It will be discretion of the coach to call another player.
