Maidstone United acknowledges that it is vital that all players, parents, spectators, coaches administrators and match officials associated with football act in a manner that enhances, rather than injures, the reputation and goodwill of the club, Football Federation Victoria (FFV), Football Federation Australia (FFA) and football generally. Therefore the club has implemented the following codes of behaviour. Failure to adhere to these codes may result in expulsion from the club and its grounds or disciplinary action in line with the constitution and procedures of the club. We believe that football should be safe, enjoyable, and inclusive and maximise individual participation. Our codes of conduct are geared to ensure that everyone involved in football, be they players, coaches, officials, spectators or parents, behave in a manner of respectfulness, fairness and positivity. Positive experiences will contribute to children developing a lifelong love of football and will also contribute to the general wellbeing of everyone involved in the sport.

DISABILITY AND INCLUSION PROGRAM
Maidstone United Soccer Club welcomes all members of the community, regardless of their abilities. We will include people with disability in our club in both playing and non-playing roles to the greatest extent that we can. We will endeavour to make our club as accessible as possible, based on our state sports policy on inclusion, the ability of individuals involved in our club, the type and level of competition (e.g., junior versus senior competition and social versus pennant) they want to join and our capacity to make modifications that promote inclusion.
