3. Code of Conduct - Parents & Spectators


Code of Conduct for Parents/Spectators

Whilst the fun and friendly atmosphere created by Football and in particular Mini-Soccer should keep such instances to a minimum, there maybe situations, which arise where comments and abuse from, adults,parents and Managers is made from the touchline.

We encourage all to follow and set up example for all children:

• Respect all teams of Club & Referee Officials: Where there any conflict or indecision or misconduct, all parents are asked to follow the clubs Complaints Procedure.

• Respect and praise ability in all children and not just the most talented.

• Respect all Club lessons / sessions by arriving 10 minutes before lesson prepared.

• To place input and feedback on Club Meets, External Trips and Competitive Matches.

• To avoid unnecessary hoaxing and shouting during Club Lessons. Praise & Encouragement rather than commentary and instruction.

• To understand the club Child Protection Policy, with non-entrance to Changing Room Facilities without prior permission.

• To understand the Health & Safety Standards, with all players provided with Shin Guard Protection, Suitable Poor Weather Provisions and non-predication due to ill health.

• To provide and complete the Attendance & Payment Forms on the correct date.

• To provide a positive environment in all areas of football – placing children’s interest first above others.

• Avoid all forms of gamesmanship,

- To remember that Football is Fun and for All.
