The grassroots game gets a new Grassroots Code
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 focuses on a few key pillars:
- 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. Together, these Standards of Behaviour promote a positive, inclusive and respectful football experience for everyone. One in which your club can take pride in. One which makes even the strongest football clubs stronger. One which better represents our communities.
