Respect your children, our players, and those who facilitate them to play - respect the game
Respect Campaign
Please ensure you adhere to the best behaviours promoted by the FA. Derry Hill Utd has an exemplary disciplinary record with just 2 Red and 1 Yellow cards in over 10 seasons of football (that's in excess of 900 matches). The FA hold the Club responsible for the behaviour of it's parents, players and officials, imposing fines and bans to anyone who behaves inappropriately in front of children regardless of provocation. As a Club we are obligated to react and address any poor conduct reported to us by the FA.
I am fully supportive of the FA Respect campaign and their objective to stamp out all inappropriate behaviour by players, officials and parents. Visit the Respect FC website to view the latest videos and information highlighting the Respect campaign.
I ask each parent to model and demonstrate best practice by fully respecting and supporting officials decisions and turning the other cheek when challenged or provoked by opposition officials or parents. In turn I have asked each coaching team to challenge themselves and each of their players to demonstrate the same sporting behaviour.
An important and effective way of avoiding some of the excesses of poor behaviour is to ensure that as a spectator you watch the game from the other side of the pitch from the coaching team and you never, for any reason, walk onto the pitch.
I do commend this message and behaviour to you, it is so important to everything I believe in and at the core of each player's sporting and social development as well as the reputation of Derry Hill Utd. In short, if you remember just one thing from this message it is
"NEVER PUBLICLY SHOW DISSENT OR REMONSTRATE WITH THE OFFICIALS, COACHES OR PLAYERS"
Your role as a parent watching children's football is to encourage and support our players, never coach or direct them. Don't get caught in the moment and never publicly abuse or show dissent to any player or official - no excuse, no exception.
If you have comments, concerns or questions about this guidance then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me and I'll be only too pleased to discuss the objectives of the FA Respect campaign and Derry Hill Utd's adherence to it.
