Parents and Spectators - Code of Respect

Chris Johnson

With an unprecedented amount of abuse and ill discipline at junior football matches we should all remind ourselves of what we are here for.

By setting a good example, we’ll help build a supportive environment in which everyone can enjoy themselves
- The Football Association

If we all behave positively during practice and matches, it will create a great environment for our young players to thrive.

Play your part and please support The FA’s Code of Respect

  • 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 them encouragement to try again next time
  • Never engage in, or tolerate offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour

If you do not follow the code you may be:

  • Issued with a verbal warning or asked to leave
  • Required to meet with the club committee, league or County FA Welfare Officer
  • Obliged to take an FA education course
  • Requested not to attend future games, be suspended, or have membership removed
  • Required to leave the club along with any dependants and/or issued with a fine
