Parent/Guardian Code Of Conduct 

At Padiham Saints we will be teaching the boys technical football skills and helping them to develop good habits. We are sure that you will already be aware that children develop at different rates and at different ages. Children may make mistakes as they learn, however if used positively, they will learn from those mistakes. As parents you have the responsibility to help and encourage your child and other members of the club. 

At Padiham Saints we need to work co-operatively with parents to make the club as successful as possible. We would welcome any support you are able to give and rely on you to transport your son and at other times mayb other team members to training sessions and games. 

Whilst supporting your son/daughter we would ask you to follow the following Code Of Conduct. 

1.    Please encourage in a positive way, do not shout or criticise if a player makes a mistake.  

2.    Encourage your child to play by the rules.  

3.    Applaud good play and encourage sporting behaviour from both sides.  

4.    Do not use foul or abusive language. Help us to remove verbal, physical and racial abuse from football.  

5.    Do not question the decision of any officials.  

6.    Monitor the amount of physical exercise that your child is doing. Young people can over-exercise, which can cause problems in later life.  

7.    Do not coach from the sidelines. We know that you mean well however it sometimes can cause more harm than good. Please leave to the manager and coaches.  

8.    Allow your child to take some responsibility for match preparation i.e. cleaning football boots, preparing drinks.  

9.    Your support is always welcome.

The managers and coaches will always find time to listen to any comments or concerns that you may have. We would like you to feel you can approach us at any time.
