Parents Code of Conduct.
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game.
Toton United Football 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 which I may be asked to reimburse the club
and/or suspension on the club
