Code of Conduct

---

As a member of the North Beach Football Club you make a commitment to uphold the values, traditions and standards of a club that has a proud and rich history in the WA Amateur Football League. As a club, in more than 50 years of competition, we are renowned for our winning culture, but also our sense of fair play. It is every member’s responsibility to ensure that this mantra is passed on to the next generation and that you leave the club in a better position than when you arrived. People pass through the club as part of different eras, but responsibility for the club’s legacy rests with you.

As such this Code of Conduct sets a benchmark for our expectations of each other as individuals and as a club collective. Please adhere to this code to protect and enhance the reputation of a club that is dear to us all – the North Beach Football Club.
