Young Players
It is important everyone behaves themselves when playing football.
As a player, you have a big part to play.That's why The FA is asking every player to follow a Respect Code of conduct.
When playing football, I will:
- Always do my best, even if we're losing or the other team is stronger.
- Play fairly-I won't cheat, complain or waste time.
- Never be rude to my team-mates, the other team, the referee, spectators or my coach/team manager.
- Do what the referee tells me.
- Shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game.
- Listen to my coach/team manager and respect what he/she says.
- Talk to someone I trust, for example my parents or the club welfare officer if I'm unhappy about anything at my club.
I understand that if I do not follow the code, action will be taken.
Parents And Spectators
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 by everyone in a safe and positive enviroment.
Play your part and observe The FA's Respect Code of Conduct for spectators and parents/carers at all times.
I will:
- Remain outside the field of play and behind the designated spectators area (where provided)
- Never engage in, or tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour.
- Always respect the match officials' descisions.
- Applaud effort and good play as well as success.
In addition, when attending youth games i will:
- Remember the children play for fun.
- Let the coaches do their job and not confuse the players by telling them what to do.
- Encourage the players to respect the opposition and match officials.
- Never criticise a player for making a mistake-mistakes are part of learning.
I understand that breaches of the code may result in action being taken by my club/county and/or The FA.
