We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. In The FA’s survey of 37,000 grassroots participants, behaviour was the biggest concern in the game. This included the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behaviour of over competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the sideline. As part of the Saxons Football Club you must endeavour to play your part and observe The Football Association’s Respect Code of Conduct in everything you do. *

I have read the above

On and off the field, I will: • Show respect to others involved in the game including match officials, opposition players, coaches, managers, officials and spectators • Adhere to the laws and spirit of the game • Promote fair play and standards of behaviour • Always respect the match official’s decision • 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 *

I agree to adhere to the above

When working with players, I will: • Place the wellbeing, 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 all parents/carers of all players under the age of 18 understand these expectations • Never engage in or 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, age and maturity • Cooperate fully with others in football (e.g. officials, doctors, physiotherapists, welfare officers) for each player’s best interest *
