Set the standards for a great game.
Use your position to set a positive example for the people you’re responsible for and lead a better game for everyone.

Play your part and support The FA’s Code of Respect:

On and off the field, I will:

• Always show respect to everyone involved in the game
• Stick to the rules and celebrate the spirit of the game
• Encourage fair play and high standards of behaviour
• Always respect the Referee and encourage players to do the same
• Never enter the field of play without the referee’s permission
• Never engage in, or tolerate offensive, insulting or abusive behaviour
• Be aware of the potential impact of bad language on others
• Be gracious in victory and defeat
• Respect the facilities home and away

When working with players, I will:

• Place the well-being, safety and enjoyment of each player above everything
• Never tolerate any form of bullying
• Ensure all activities are suited for the players’ ability and age
• Work with others (e.g. officials, doctors, welfare officers, physiotherapists) for each player’s best interests
• I will make myself familiar with safeguarding practices & review guidance on physical contact (5.6) & Acceptable Behaviours When Working With Young People (5.7) documents on the safeguarding section of EnglandFootball.com

I understand that if I do not follow the Code, I may be:

• Required to meet with the club committee, league or CFA Welfare Officer
• Suspended by the club from attending matches
• Suspended or fined by the County FA
• Required to leave, lose my position and/or have my license withdrawn
