Respect Codes of Conduct
Please note all players who join the Club are deemed to have accepted, and agreed to abide by, the Codes of Conduct.
YOUTH 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 may be taken.
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 by everyone in a safe and positive environment.
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 Spectator Area (where provided).
- Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour
- Always respect the match officials’ decisions _ Applaud effort and good play as well as success.
In addition, when attending youth games I will:
-
Remember that 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 County FA and /or The FA.
