Code of conduct for spectators
The Worthys YFC recognise that parents and spectators have a great influence on children’s enjoyment and success in football. All children play football because they first and foremost love the game – its fun. Therefore, we would like to remind you that however good a child may become at football, it is important to reinforce the message that positive encouragement from you as parents and spectators will contribute to:
•Children enjoying football
•A sense of personal achievement
•Self-esteem
•Assist to improve the child’s skills and techniques
Therefore, the Worthys YFC expect all parents and spectators watching the clubs games to do the following:
1. SET A GOOD EXAMPLE TO YOUNG PLAYERS:
Your conduct and attitude can be copied by them.
2. RECOGNISE GOOD SPORTING BEHAVIOUR:
Show that you appreciate sportsmanship on the field.
3. APPRECIATE GOOD FOOTBALL:
Show that you do appreciate good footballing skills by whichever team
4. ALWAYS CONSIDER OTHERS:
Even if excited by the game yourself, remember and consider other spectators – young and old.
5. LEARN THE LAWS OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL:
You will appreciate how difficult interpretation can be.
6.NEVER USE FOUL OR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE:
Do not shout abuse at match officials (either qualified or club), other spectators and managers/coaches.
7.NEVER TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS:
Let your club or team manager deal with any problems which may arise.
The Worthys YFC manager will report the incident through the Worthys YFC formal procedure.
8.NEVER BE DRAWN INTO DISPUTES:
Don’t become involved in an argument or dispute with other spectators, players or officials.
9. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
Remarks that you may make could be detrimental to the Club, League or players themselves.
(even ‘under your breath’ or to another parent)
10. YOUTH FOOTBALL IS A GAME OF ENJOYMENT
Support your child and team in a manner which will maintain the high reputation that the
Worthys YFC has acquired in sporting behaviour.
