The FA Respect: Code of Conduct for Spectators and Parents/Carers
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 Condut 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
Always respect the match officials' 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
Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour
I understand that if I do not follow the Code, any/all of the following actions may be taken by my club, County FA, league, or The FA:
Issued with a verbal warning from a club or league official
