We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game
This club is supporting The FA’s Respect programme to ensure football can be
enjoyed in a safe, positive environment. Remember children’s football is a time for
them to develop their technical, physical, tactical and social skills. Winning isn’t
everything.
Play your part and observe The FA’s Respect Code of Conduct for spectators
and parents/carers at all times.
I will:
• Remember that children play for FUN
• Applaud effort and good play as well as success decisions
• Remain outside the field of play and within the Designated Spectators’ Area (where
provided)
• Let the coach do their job and not confuse the players by telling them what to do
• Encourage the players to respect the opposition, referee and match officials
• Avoid criticising a player for making a mistake – mistakes are part of learning insulting, or abusive language or
• Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, behaviour.
