For Parents & Supporters
Spectator’s Guide
We love the support from all of the parents, family, and friends at every match. These expectations were written by children and young people who are current Academy Players in the FA’s Foundation and Youth Development Phases — and we think they’re a good rule of thumb for us too. In their words, the boys would like all parents, carers and spectators to:
- Be kind, calm, encouraging and supportive
- Be their biggest fan, not their biggest critic
- Be positive in your communication, including your body language
- Praise their effort, even if things aren't going well on the pitch
- Never distract players during matches
- Let the players play, the coaches coach and the referees, referee
- Avoid using upsetting, offensive, discriminatory language or behaviour towards anyone
