Code Of Conduct For Parents/Spectators
Parents/Spectators have a great influence on children's enjoyment and success in football. All children play football because they first and foremost love the game - it's fun.
It is important to remember that however good a child may become at football it is important that we reinforce the message to parents that positive encouragement will contribute to:
- Children enjoying football.
- A sense of personal achievement.
- Self-esteem.
- Improving the child's skills and techniques.
A parent's/spectator's expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on a child's attitude towards:
- Other players.
- Officials.
- Managers and Coaches.
- Spectators.
As a Parent/Spectator you should:
- Applaud all children as well as your own.
- Avoid coaching your child during training or games.
- Not shout and scream at children.
- Respect the coach and other officials.
- Give attention to each of the children involved, not just the most talented.
- Give encouragement to every child who participates.
We would ask all parents/spectators to agree and adhere to our Code of Conduct and Child Protection Policy.
