BBFC was founded in 2004. We:

•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.
