Respect

Respect The Standard and make football better for everyone.

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.
