FA Respect Codes of Conduct

Code of Conduct: Young Players [15 Aug @ 7:03pm]

It is important everyone behaves themselves when playing football. As a player, you have a big part to play. That's why The FA is asking every player to follow a Respect Code of Conduct. When playing football, I will: Always do my best, even if we're losing or the other team is stronger Play fairly - I won't cheat, complain or waste time Never be rude to my team-mates, the other team, the referee, spectators or my coach/team manager Do what the referee tells me Shake hands with the other team and referee at the end of the game Listen to my coach/team manager and respect what he/she says Talk to someone I trust, for example my parents or the club welfare officer if I'm unhappy about anything at my club. I understand that if I do not follow the code, action may be taken. TheFA.com/Respect

The Captains Role [15 Aug @ 7:04pm]

As your team's captain, you have a vital role to play in helping us achieve the number one priority for footballers in The FA's biggest-ever survey of grassroots football - a referee for every game. Seven thousand referees are dropping out each season because of the abuse and intimidation they receive. It ruins games and can cause matches to be abandoned. Then we've all lost. Captain taking responsibility As a captain, you have no special status or privileges under the Laws of the Game, but you do have a degree of responsibility for the behaviour of your team. To promote Respect, the referee will work with you, as the team captain, to manage the players and the game effectively. Even if you are some way away from an incident when the referee feels he/she needs you involved in a discussion with a player, the referee will call you over. This will ensure that, as the team captain, you remain the point of contact for the referee. How Captains can help to instil Respect: Ensure you wear a Respect captain's armband - these will be provided by your league to your club Together with your opposition captain, make yourself known to the referee before the game. He/she will ask if you are clear about your responsibilities Ensure all your players understand what they can/cannot do in relation to the referee and what is meant by 'unwanted behaviour'. No-one's trying to curb enthusiasm - just instil more discipline. This can only benefit your match - and football as a whole Ensure your vice-captain (appoint one if you haven't got one) is aware of these rules, in case you are unavailable for a game, or have to leave the field Ensure every player in your team has signed the Respect Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct: Coaches [15 Aug @ 7:05pm]

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. In The FA's survey of over 37,000 grassroots participants, behaviour was the biggest concern in the game. This included both the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behaviour by over competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the sidelines. The FA's Respect programme is aimed at tackling unacceptable behaviour across the whole game. Play your part and observe The FA's Respect Code of Conduct for coaches, team managers and club officials at all times. I will: Show respect to others involved in the game including match officials, opposition players, coaches, managers, officials and spectators Adhere to the Laws of the Game Display and promote high standards of behaviour Always respect the match officials' decisions Never enter the field of play without the referee's permission Never engage in public criticism of the match officials Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language or behaviour. When working with players, I will: Place the well-being, safety and enjoyment of each player above everything, including winning Explain exactly what I expect of players and what they can expect from me Ensure the parents/carers of all players under the age of 18 understand these expectations Refrain from, and refuse to tolerate any form of bullying Develop mutual trust and respect with every player to build their self-esteem Encourage each player to accept responsibility for their own behaviour and performance Ensure all activities I organise are appropriate for the players' ability level, experience, age and maturity Co-operate fully with others in football (e.g. officials, doctors, physiotherapists, welfare officers) for each player's best interests I understand that breaches of the code may result in action being taken by my County FA and /or The FA.

Code of Conduct: Match Officials [15 Aug @ 7:07pm]

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. The behaviour of the match officials has an impact, directly and indirectly, on the conduct of everyone involved in the game - both on the pitch and on the sidelines.
