CODE OF CONDUCT- PARENTS, GUARDIANS & SPECTATORS

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the game. Parents have a great influence on children’s enjoyment and success in football. Children play football because they first and foremost love the game – it’s FUN. Remember children’s football is a time for them to develop and learn. We want them to win but not at all costs. Play your part by supporting your child and observe the Code of Conduct at all times.

I will:

• Remember that children play to learn and have fun.

• Always respect the match officials’ decisions

• Remain outside the field of play or within the Designated Spectators’ Areas

• Let the coach do their job and not to confuse the players by telling them what to do

• Encourage your child, and others, or be quiet. Praise effort and performance, not results. Applaud effort and good play

• Encourage the players to respect the opposition, referee and officials

• Avoid criticising a player for making a mistake – mistakes are part of learning

• Never engage in, or tolerate, offensive, insulting, or abusive language or behaviour, including on social media and communication apps publicly.

• Parents must develop an appropriate supportive relationship with both the coach and their child based on mutual trust and respect

• Support the coach’s decisions and discuss any concerns directly with the coach at training.

• It is my responsibility to ensure others adhere to these rules, including visiting family.

• It is my responsibility to ensure I pay Monthly fees through Class 4 kids, that contribute to the running of the team and club.

• Ensure you adhere to the SFA, club and facility providers user procedures.

I understand that if I do not follow the Code of conduct, action may be taken by the club, league or National Association.

I acknowledge that all the kit my child is given, is the property of Dundee United Sports Club and this needs to be returned in full and the end of the season or if my child leave’s the club. Players will not be released without all kit and outstanding fees returned.

This completed form will be kept in accordance with GDPR by DUSC for records and could be used as evidence in any disciplinary cases.
