FA Respect Campaign
Respect is The FA’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in
football – on and off the pitch.
On average, 7,000 referees
quit football every year at because of the abuse they receive from players and
from the sidelines. Lots of children also pack it in because of the attitude and
actions of over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.
In response, The FA’s
Respect programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches,
Referees, players and parents from grassroots to elite football to ensure a
safe, positive environment in which to enjoy the game.
These tools
include agreed codes of conduct, in-service training for Referees, Respect club
packs, spectator sideline barriers funded by the Football Foundation and
ensuring captains work with referees to manage player behaviour.
The FA
has also launched a free online Respect Parent Guide to highlight examples of
poor behaviour and, more importantly, how it can be improved. To see the Guide
for Parents and carers click here .
