“Respect” is the FA’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in football, both on and off the pitch.
On average, 7000 referees quit football every year because of the abuse they receive from players and supporters. Lots of children quit because of the attitude and actions of over-enthusiastic and “pushy” parents.
In response, the FA’s Respect programme provides tools and information 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.
Codicote Youth Football Club adhere to the Respect programme which you can learn about on the FA’s website, http://www.thefa.com/get-involved/respect.
