Respect is The Football Association’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in football – on and off the pitch.
Thousands of referees quit football every year because of the abuse they receive from players and from the sidelines, while lots of children also pack it in because of the attitude and actions of over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.
In response, the Respect Programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches, referees, players and parents from grassroots to elite football to ensure a safe and positive environment in which to enjoy the game.
We as a club will be following these guidlines and resources for parents and players can be located below.
