HOSTING A CLUB’S PARENT’S MEETING
Why not display this welcome letter to
opposition supporters when they arrive? It will create a favourable impression and provide
a clear statement of your club’s insistence on Respect.
Staging a parent’s evening where a club
identifies ‘why we play’ and the behaviours
expected of players, coaches and parents can
be one of the most useful measures that a club
can do to establish its commitment to Respect.
These guidance notes will help you stage an
effective meeting.

DAY ENVIRONMENT
Give these cards to your players to present
to their parents or carers prior to a game
identifying the best way to offer support.
We’ve updated and improved The FA’s codes.
Use them as they are or add your club or
league’s identity.
If your league uses The FA’s ‘Full Time’
administration service you can require clubs to
mark each other on their conduct. This provides
valuable information to the league and over a
season the marks can be published to highlight
good practice and incentivise poor performers
to improve.
Find out about FA Learning’s new online course
that shows how Respect can be used practically
in grassroots youth football to help provide a
positive and enjoyable environment for young
players to learn the game . The course is free to
all users.
RESPECT AND FAIR PLAY AWARDS
Use these posters to raise awareness in your
club house or changing room.
To achieve Respect on the pitch team captains
need to play their part in working with referees.
This pocket guide shows you how.
Each year The FA recognises the clubs, leagues
and individuals that have excelled in setting
new standards for Respect or tackling difficult
problems. Be inspired by the stories of the
2012 winners.
If you’re struggling to communicate the
importance of Respect show these adverts.
Watch Ray Winstone as the coach from hell,
Mark Watson trying to deal with a raging
parent or the embarrassment of a young player
following the antics of his dad.
Anticipating any problems and setting out
clearly what you expect from participants is key
to an enjoyable experience. This guidance is
based on good practice from leagues and clubs
around the country.
RESPECT IN PICTURES
Use these comic strip Respect stories and
related activity cards to get your point across.
