SPECTATORS 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 inwhich everyone can enjoy themselves.

PRO SPORTS ACADEMY is supporting The FA’s Respect programme to ensure football can be enjoyedby 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:

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