•Run a successful club that continues to develop and grow.
•Play to win, but we believe that doing our best & playing fairly is more
important.
•Continue to finish high up in the Fair Play Leagues & win related awards.
•Share the Good News of Jesus Christ with men & their families through
football.
•Organise sporting & social activities that enable members to play & meet in
Christian fellowship.
•Encourage players, officials & spectators to enjoy life within Battle Baptist
Church.
Players are expected to: •Adhere to the Club’s Respect Code of Conduct (see page 4 of this leaflet)
•Let managers know their availability well ahead of matches (more than 2
weeks in advance please)
•Keep up to date with team selections via the BBFC Facebook page
•Turn up on time to matches & training
•Help team managers with all practical tasks (getting pitches ready, clear up
litter etc)
We encourage players to … •Be positive and have a friendly attitude to everyone involved in football
•Be enthusiastic about developing their football ability - skill, technique,
tactics & fitness
•Take part in pre-match prayers
•Be competitive but fair, meaning that yellow & red cards are a rarity
•Be open to the 4-minute talks about the Christian Faith at training, & to
coming to Church to hear more.
•Chat to Church people about any struggles or questions they may have.
