Parent's & Spectators Code of Conduct

We all bear a collective responsibility to set a good example and help provide a positive environment in which children can learn and enjoy the game.  Play your part and observe The FA’s Respect Code of Conduct for spectators at all times
• Remember that children play for FUN.
• Applaud effort and good play as well as success.
• Respect the Referee’s decisions even when you don’t agree with them
• Appreciate good play from whatever team it comes from
• Let the coaches 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
• Support positively. When players make a mistake offer them encouragement not criticism
• Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour
• Bring my child to training and matches on time 

• E-mail in advance when players cannot attend matches
