Do you want to know more about our organisation?

Our core principles are:

Personal Accountability - Can you hold yourself personally accountable for treating others and the environment fairly without relying on any third party authority to tell you right from wrong?

Be Continuously Introspective - Do you regularly examine your core beliefs to make sure they still ring true. Do you regularly step back and review your habits and attitudes, as well as the general course of your life to make sure that you are still on a path towards becoming the best version of yourself? Do you make an honest acknowledgement of your shortcomings and strengths?

Conflict Resolution - When disputes do arise, can you handle them calmly, rationally, respectfully, and with equal consideration to the other parties?

The Spirit of the Rules - Just because something isn’t illegal doesn’t make it right, nor is it right to use the law to take advantage of others or for personal gain. Can you follow the spirit of the rules as well as the letter of those rules?

Non Judgemental - Can you refrain from judging others by how their actions might affect you, refrain from retaliatory response, and avoid the urge to correct them if their actions are not harming anyone else?

Mutual Respect - Do you respect all human beings, regardless of how they may differ from you in any way, including but not limited to: Religion, Gender, Ethnicity, Nationality, Socio-economic class, Politics, or Personal Beliefs?

For global positions;

We are establishing a network of Spirit of the Game chapters, clubs and discussion groups all across the world. These chapters will act as the foundation for this movement and bring fresh energy to these principles and focus on how they apply across all areas of society.
These chapters can be held by existing NGOs which are founded on one or more of these principles, or we are willing to help groups to establish a new NGO specifically for this purpose.
Regardless, we will provide assistance to our chapters in terms of fundraising, finding grants, applying for grants, access to our global network, and other areas as needed which are within our capabilities.
