We are incredibly proud of our FA Standard
Charter Development Club status.
As coaches, parents and guardians, we all have a responsibility to promote high standards and uphold the ethos of the FA RESPECT campaign:
• Players are number one
• Fun – not winning – is everything
• Fans only cheer and coaches only coach
• No yelling in anger
• Respect the officials and referees decisions
• No swearing – whatever the opposition are like
We have a shared responsibility to ensure that for all
players their experience is a positive one,
particularly at the youngest age groups.
We have a commitment to coaching, player and coach development, and the raising of standards of skill and also behaviour in the game – all of which are
big priorities for both us and The FA.
Our aims as a Club and as Coaches are to:
- Place the well-being, safety and enjoyment of
each player above everything, including winning - Explain exactly what we expect of our players
and what they can expect from us, consistently - Ensure the parents/carers of all the players
under the age of 18 understand these
expectations - 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 are appropriate for the
players’ ability level, experience, age and maturity
