FA Respect

Parents, Carers & Spectators

If we behave positively during practice and matches, our children will too. By setting a good example, we help build a supportive environment where everyone can enjoy themselves.

I will

Have fun; it’s what we’re all here for!
Celebrate effort and good play from both sides.
Always respect the referee and coaches, and encourage players to do the same.
Stay behind the touchline and within the Designated Spectators’ Area where provided.
When players make mistakes, offer encouragement to try again next time.
Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour.
Make yourself familiar with safeguarding practices and relevant England Football guidance.

If I do not follow the code

Be issued with a verbal warning or asked to leave.
Be required to meet with the club committee, league or County FA Welfare Officer.
Be obliged to undertake an FA education course.
Be requested not to attend future games, be suspended or have membership removed.
