Parents

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. Westside Football Club supports 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 time.

  • 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/manager do their job. Do 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.
