WALESBY JUNIORS

FOOTBALL CLUB

Parents and Spectators

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. Walesby Juniors FC 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 parents/carers and spectators 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.

Respect Code of Conduct
YOUNG 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.
