Respect Code of Conduct

All parents/carers who come to support their children in football matches will need to sign a Respect Code of Conduct agreement which will be attached to the first permission letter their child receives, if they play in any matches.  This is in line with all Primary schools in St Albans taking part in the football leagues.  As a school we fully support this initiative and hope our parents will do the same.

RESPECT CODE OF CONDUCT:

 Spectators and parents/carers

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 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
