We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. In The FA’s survey of 37,000 grassroots participants, the behaviour was the biggest concern in the game. This included the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behaviour of over competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the sideline.

​

Beacon Hill Rovers FC supports The FA Respect Code of Conduct which you are expected to follow in everything you do.

MANAGERS, PLAYERS & OFFICALS

On and off the field, I will:

 

  • Show respect to others involved in the game including match officials, opposition players, coaches, managers, officials and spectators

  • Adhere to the laws and spirit of the game

  • Promote Fair Play and high standards of behaviour

  • Always respect the match official’s decision

  • Never enter the field of play without the referee’s permission

  • Never engage in public criticism of the match officials

  • Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting or abusive language, swearing or behaviour including social media.

 

When working with players, I will:

  • Explain exactly what I expect of players and what they can expect from me

  • Ensure all parents/carers of all players under the age of 18 understand these expectations
