FA Respect

The Grassroots Code is designed to unite everyone across grassroots football by driving positive standards of behaviour we can all get behind. Good behaviour deserves everyone’s respect. Created with contributions gathered from grassroots clubs, The Grassroots Code will improve and maintain the standards everyone expects to see at your own club as well as others.
To do so, the Grassroots Code includes Standards of Behaviour which ensure a positive
football environment for all. They’re very clear, so everyone can understand and
remember them:

• Enjoy The Game - we're here to enjoy ourselves... win, lose or draw.
• Give Respect - we always treat others as we'd like to be treated.
• Be Inclusive - we embrace our differences... football is a game for
• everyone.
• Work Together - we're a team, on and off the pitch.
• Play Safe - we all have a role in safeguarding young people and
• vulnerable adults.
• Together, these Standards of Behaviour promote a positive, inclusive and
• respectful football experience for everyone.
