The Football Association’s Respect programme aims to help further reduce levels of anti-social behaviour both on and off the pitch. The hard hitting ‘Are you Losing it?’ campaign targets abusive grassroots parents who can ruin their child’s enjoyment of the game through their behaviour.

The FA has launched a free online Respect Parent Guide to highlight examples of poor behaviour and, more importantly, how it can be improved. The Guide offers practical advice, hints and tips on what it takes to be a supportive soccer parent or carer and how to positively influence young players to be involved in the game.
