Discipline

FAIR PLAY - ON AND OFF THE PITCH.

The RAF FA is responsible for ensuring that the Rules and Regulations of The FA and County FA are upheld and enforced.

Football is a game for all and the RAF FA is determined to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for anyone who wishes to play, coach, officiate, administer, support or be involved in military football.

Discipline is a fundamental part of a successfully run Club.
