Code Of Conduct For Parents and Spectators

Parents are encouraged to attend matches and training sessions but we ask you to obey the following guidelines set out below:

• No coaching of players by parents is permitted. Coaching must be left to the coaches.
• Parents are asked to watch from the opposite side of the field from the coaches to allow them to work with the players.
• Parents should regrain from giving feedback to players regarding performance unless they have confulted the coaches first. By doing this it should eliminate any contradictory information that can lead to confusion or frustration for the player.
• Parents are to set a good sporting example by supporting the teams in a positive manner.
• Please seek permission before photographing any children under the age of 18.
• Parents must not enter the field of play or dressing room areas at any point during, or at the end of a match or training session unless requested to do so by officials.
• Verbal, racist and physical abuse will not be tolerated.
• Foul and abusive language is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
• Parents must deposit with CYDC staff any drinks, food, medicines and inhalers appertaining to the player prior to the coaching sessions, and notify the staff of any change of medication.
• If you are unsettled by anything at CYDC bring it to the attention of the Coaching Director or another CYDC Official.

I agree to abide by the above guidelines to allow my child the best possible chance of development both as a person and a footballer at Chapeltown Youth Development Centre. Any necessary disciplinary action will be taken against any parent/guardian deemed to break this agreement by CYDC.
