SPECTATORS AND PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT

PLAY YOUR PART

If we behave positively during practice and matches, our children will too.

By setting a good example, we’ll help build a supportive environment in which everyone can enjoy themselves.

PRO SPORTS ACADEMY is supporting The FA’s Respect programme to ensure football can be enjoyed by everyone in a safe and positive environment.

• 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 spectator’s 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.

• Always respect the match officials’ decisions.

• 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 In addition, when attending youth games, I will:

• 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.

I understand that if I do not follow the code, I may be:

• Issued with a verbal warning or asked to leave.

• Required to meet with the club committee, league or CFA Welfare Officer.

• Obliges to undertake an FA Education course.

• Requested not to attend future games, be suspended or have any membership removed

• Required to leave the club along with any dependants and/or issued a fine.

We only do positive.
