Players

Fair Play and respect for all others in the game is fundamentally important.
 
Players are the most important people in the sport. Playing for the ream, and for the team to win, is the most fundamental part of the game. But not winning at any cost – Fair Play and respect for all others in the game is fundamentally important

Parents and supporters

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 – its fun.

Parents and supporters should…….

• Remember that the children are playing football for their own enjoyment and benefit, not for the spectators’
• Not coach from the touchline during matches or training
• Not argue with or shout at the referee
• Support and encourage all the players in the team, never ridiculing mistakes
• Applaud the opposition as well as our own team
• Help their child to focus on the performance and not the result
• Discuss any concerns with the coach and not criticise him/her to their child or to other parents – show respect at all times to coaches who are giving up their own time for the children
