Hi all, really sorry for the late notice but if anyone wants to go to Sheffield 1st Sep for a mixed 8-a-side tourney let me know and I'll see if we can get enough to register a team, or if they'd be happy for the odd person to slot into other teams. Please forward to all your teams on whatsapp etc and ask people to contact me salwood82(a)gmail.com or 07718 13039. Might be able to arrange transport... Sal FW xx *Mount Pleasant Park FC September tournament* *SAVE THE DATE: *SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER *WHERE:* Goodwin, Bramley Pitches, Sheffield *WHEN:* Registration - 12:30pm | First game KO - 1pm | Finish - 5pm *WHAT:* 8-a-side *HOW MUCH:* TBC - but probably, £5 sub, £10 full per player - no one turned away for lack of funds. *Overview*As with all our tournaments, the focus is on having fun - communicating and playing in a way that makes everyone feel welcome and included. Teams will differ in terms of levels of confidence and experience, and in other respects such as their gender make-up, but we don't want any of that to affect anyone's enjoyment of the tournament. Charities TBC! *Rules* - No slide tackles - If you wear studs, please be mindful of challenges - Kick ins from the sides - Over head height is allowed from open play, goal kicks, kick ins and corners - Going in the area is allowed - please be mindful of challenges and 50/50s with keepers! - Shinpads recommended but not required - Be kind – actively encourage others - No vulgar language, discrimination or discouragement – keep it friendly. *Club Policies* Inclusivity We stand against all forms of discrimination. Anyone behaving at MPPFC events on or off the pitch in a way which is sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist or disablist will be asked to stop and, depending on the seriousness, may be asked to leave. Tackling Football is obviously a contact sport. However, we don’t want any dangerous tackles, or for players to be overly physical or aggressive. For example, no slide tackling, and if you’re uncertain you can stop someone safely, do not make a challenge (let them go, we don’t care about the score). Avoid this even if you think someone can ‘take it’. Communication We expect members to communicate in a respectful and constructive way with each other, and to encourage others less experiences people without being patronising. We don’t want people shouting at teammates or opponents, or bossing others around. Ultimately, we want members who play with a smile and are prepared to laugh at themselves, while avoiding macho banter and aggression. We’d also ask members try to avoid using gendered language on the pitch (e.g. ‘man on’). Taking responsibility Be responsible for yourself. Check your own behaviour, and try to take your cue from those around you. If someone calls you out for something you’ve done or said, please don’t be put out, but listen. We all get it wrong, but we’re all trying to make the space better. Be responsible for your teammates and if you notice one of them getting wound up or overly physical and aggressive, have a word with them and remind them it’s not that kind of game. Back others up who do the same if needed. Accountability We hope that most of this will be self-policing and that teams will take collective responsibility. However, if there is an issue with another player repeatedly not respecting the code of conduct, and are making others uncomfortable, it can be brought to the committee who can mediate or approach the player and attempt to resolve the issue. If the issue is serious (e.g. relates to aggressive behaviour, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia) and cannot be resolved, they may be asked to leave the tournament. Complaints The club will take appropriate action if any complaint or issue is raised by a player regarding another player's breach of the above club policies. Depending on the behaviour, you may be asked to leave the tournament and will not be able to attend future tournaments. If you have any concerns about someone's behaviour and would like the club to help you deal with the issue, please feel free to contact us. Complaints will be addressed by two nominated committee members, contactable either by email or text. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: peacehando(a)yahoo.co.uk &lt;peacehando(a)yahoo.co.uk&gt; Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2024 at 10:33 Subject: Fw: MPPFC Autumn Tournament - Sunday 1st September To: Sally Wood &lt;salwood82(a)gmail.com&gt; ----- Forwarded message ----- *From:* "MPPFC" &lt;mountpleasantparkfc(a)gmail.com&gt; *To:* &quot;peacehando(a)yahoo.co.uk&quot; &lt;peacehando(a)yahoo.co.uk&gt; *Cc:* *Sent:* Thu, 1 Aug 2024 at 13:48 *Subject:* MPPFC Autumn Tournament - Sunday 1st September Hey Peace, Hope you are well, we're hosting another tournament soon and would love to have you along if you can make the journey up here! *WHEN: *Sunday 1st September - 12:30pm - 5pm (KO 1PM) *WHERE: *Goodwin, Bramley Pitches *WHAT: *8-a-side tournament Signup is here: https://forms.gle/9n1cc8RJTWGAmpFb7 Cost TBC, but probably, £5 sub, £10 full per player - no one turned away for lack of funds.
