Code of Conduct 3 of 4
3. Parent's, Guardian's & Carer's
- Do not force an unwilling child to participate in football.
- Remember children are involved in football for the enjoyment not yours.
- Encourage your child to play to the laws of the Game and not to argue with Referees and other Officials.
- Teach your child that honest effort is more important than victory so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.
- Turn losing into winning by helping your child work towards skill improvement and good sportsmanship. Never ridicule or yell at your child for a mistake or losing a game.
- Remember that children learn best by example. Applaud good play by your team and by members of the opposition.
- Do not question the Referee's judgement or honesty. Remember he/she is only human with the same feelings as you and, like you, sometimes may make an honest error.
- Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children's football.
- Recognise the value and importance of coaches who are all volunteers. They give children their time and resources to provide football for your child.
- Read the Laws of the Game to understand better what you are looking at and commenting on.
- Promote this Code of Conduct.
