Play your part and support The FA’s Code of Respect:
On and off the field, I will:
- Always show respect to everyone involved in the game
- Stick to the rules and celebrate the spirit of the game
- Encourage fair play and high standards of behaviour
- Always respect the Referee and encourage players to do the same
- Never enter the field of play without the referee’s permission
- Never engage in, or tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive behaviour
- Be aware of the potential impact of bad language on others
- Be gracious in victory and defeat
- Respect the facilities home and away
When working with players, I will:
- Place the well-being, safety and enjoyment of each player above everything
- Never tolerate any form of bullying
- Ensure all activities are suited for the players’ ability and age
- Work with others (e.g. officials, doctors, welfare officers, physiotherapists) for each player’s best interests
I understand that if I do not follow the Code, I may be:
- Required to meet with the club or league Welfare Officer or the CFA Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO)
- Suspended by the club from attending matches
- Suspended or fined by the County FA
- Required to leave, lose my position and/or have my license withdrawn
