The grassroots game has a new Grassroots Code. Formerly known as the
Code of Conduct, The Grassroots Code is designed to unite everyone across
grassroots football by driving positive standards of behaviour we can all get
behind.
Created with contributions gathered from grassroots clubs, 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 children.
Together, these Standards of Behaviour promote a positive, inclusive and
respectful football experience for everyone. The aim is to communicate fun,
positivity, respect, inclusivity, teamwork and safe spaces. All of this is wrapped
in a national Respect the Standard campaign promoting the Code’s new
Standards of Behaviour.
