On average, 7,000 referees quit
football every year because of the abuse they receive
from players and from the sidelines. Lots of children
also pack it in because of the attitude and actions of
over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.
In response, The FA’s Respect programme provides a
series of tools 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.
These tools include agreed codes of conduct, in-service
training for Referees, Respect club packs, spectator
sideline barriers funded by the Football Foundation and
ensuring captains work with referees to manage player
behaviour.
The FA has also launched a free online Respect Parent
Guide to highlight examples of poor behaviour and, more
importantly, how it can be improved. To see the Guide
for Parents and carers
