spectators and parents code of conduct...

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. However good a child becomes at football, we think it is important to reinforce the message to parents/spectators 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 player

• Officials

• Managers

• Sponsors

We seek to ensure that parents / spectators within our Club are always positive and encouraging towards all of the children, not just their own.

    We encourage parents / spectators to:

• Applaud the opposition as well as your own team.

• Avoid coaching the child during the game.

• Refrain from shouting and screaming.

• Respect the referee’s decision.

• Give attention to each of the children involved in football, not just the most talented.

• Give encouragement to everyone to participate in football.
