At Newbridge United Football Club, we are deeply committed to maintaining high standards both on and off the field. We continuously strive to enhance these standards, ensuring that our coaches, players, and parents uphold the Club's values.

Annual General Meeting (AGM): Each year, we host an AGM to review the season and discuss plans for the future. This meeting is an important forum for open dialogue between parents and the Club management. During the AGM, our Club Chairperson addresses key topics such as expectations of players and coaches, the role of parents, plans for the Club's future, and more. All team managers also provide a report on player development over the season, and we encourage parents to engage and ask questions.

Never ridicule or shout at a child for making a mistake or losing a competition.

Club Complaints Procedure: Should any member feel they have been discriminated against or if they believe club policies or our Code of Conduct have been breached, they should report the matter to our Club Child Liaison Officer or Club Secretary. We encourage reporting these issues as it helps us maintain the integrity and positive environment of our club.
