Spectators - code of conduct
Parents/Spectators have a great influence on children’s enjoyment and success in football. All children play football because they first and foremost love the game – it’s fun. It is important to remember that however good a child becomes at football within the Club it is important to reinforce the message to Parents/Spectators that positive encouragement will contribute to:
- Children enjoying football
- A sense of personal achievement
- Self-esteem
- Improving the child’s skills and techniques
Parent’s/Spectator’s expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on a child’s attitude towards:
- Other players
- Officials
- Managers
- Spectators
Parents/spectators should always be positive and encouraging towards all of the children not just their own.
Parents/spectators should:
- Applaud the opposition as well as your own Team
- Avoid coaching the child during the game
- Not to shout and scream
- Respect the referee’s decision
- Give attention to each of the children involved in football not just the most talented
- Give encouragement to everyone to participate in football
Parents/Spectators should agree and adhere to the Club’s Code of Conduct and Child Protection Policy.
