HJFL Code of Conduct for Parents and Spectators

Parents and Spectators have a great influence on children's enjoyment and success in football. All children play football because they first and foremost love the game - it's fun. It is important to remember that however good a child becomes at football within your club it is important to reinforce the message to parents and spectators that positive encouragement will contribute to:

- Children enjoying football;
- A sense of personal achievement;
- Self-esteem;
- Improving the child's skills and techniques.

A parent's (or spectator's) expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on a child's attitude towards other players, officials, managers and spectators.

Ensure that parents and spectators within your club are always positive and encouraging towards all of the children, not just their own. Please encourage them to:

- Applaud the opposition as well as your own team;
- Avoid coaching the children during their game;
- Not to shout and scream;
- Respect the referee's decisions;
- Give attention to each of the children involved in football, not just the most talented;
- Give encouragement to everyone to participate in football.

Ensure that parents and spectators within your club agree and adhere to your club's Code of Conduct and Child Protection Policy.
