Code of Conduct - Spectators and Parents/Carers

Nascot Wood Rangers Football Club Respect Code of Conduct for spectators and parents/carers

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.This club is supporting The FA’s Respect programme to ensure football can be enjoyed in a safe, positive environment.

Remember children’s football is a time for them to develop their technical, physical, tactical and social skills. Winning isn’t everything.

Play your part and observe The FA’s Respect Code of Conduct for spectators and parents/carers at all times.

I will:

· Remember that children play for FUN

· Applaud effort and good play as well as success

· Always respect the match officials’ decisions

· Let the coach do their job and not confuse the players by telling them what to do

· Encourage the players to respect the opposition, referee and match officials

· Avoid criticising a player for making a mistake – mistakes are part of learning

· Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour.

· Not consume Alcohol or Drugs near to a game

· Ensure that both myself and my dependent are punctual when attending games, training and any meetings

· Reimburse the club for any fines resulting from bookings made against my child or as a result of my actions whilst I am spectating
