Horsham Tigers Football Club
Respect Code of Conduct for
spectators and parents/carers.
We all have a responsibility to
promote
high standards of behaviour in
the game.
This club is supporting The FA’s
Respect programme to ensure
football
can be enjoyed in a safe, positive
environment.
Remember children’s football is a
time
for them to develop their technical,
physical, tactical and social skills.
Winning isn’t everything.
Play your part and observe The FA’s
Respect Code of Conduct for
spectators and parents/carers at all
times.
I will:
• Remember that children play for
FUN
• Applaud effort and good play as
well as success
• Always respect the match
officials’
decisions
• Remain outside the field of
play and
within the Designated Spectators’
Area (where provided)
• Let the coach do their job and
not
confuse the players by telling them
what to do
• Encourage the players to
respect
the opposition, referee and
match officials
• Avoid criticising a player for
making
a mistake – mistakes are part of
learning
• Never engage in, or tolerate,
offensive, insulting, or abusive
language or behaviour.
I understand that if I do not
follow the
Code, any/all of the following
actions
may be taken by my club, County
FA,
league or The FA.
I may be:
• Issued with a verbal warning
from a
club or league official
• Required to meet with the club,
league or CFA Welfare Officer
• Required to meet with the club
committee
• Obliged to undertake an FA
education course
• Obliged to leave the match
venue
by the club
• Requested by the club not to
attend
future games
• Suspended or have my club
membership removed
• Required to leave the club
along
with any dependents.
In addition:
• The FA/County FA could impose a
fine and/or suspension on the club.
