LINCOLNSHIRE SCHOOLS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
Code of Conduct
Respect is the FA’s response to a clear message from throughout the game that the health of football depends on high standards of behaviour on and off the pitch.
-
Respect is a behavioural code for Football
-
Respect is about recognising that the integrity of the game is more important than the result of the match
-
Respect is about creating an understanding of what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in Football
-
Respect is about those involved taking responsibility for the consequences of their own actions
-
Respect is about supporting match officials to do their job. Without them we don’t have a game
-
Respect is not a slogan. It is a collective responsibility of those involved in football to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place.
The following Respect Codes of Conduct outline the types of behaviour that will support a fair, safe and enjoyable game in this country. They also identify a range of sanctions which may be taken if these codes are not abided by.

**Please do try to organise and play your fixtures rather than handing games to the opposition especially in the early rounds. I understand logistically sometimes arranging the fixtures at a mutually convenient date can be hard but if a team progresses too far without playing a game often the players can feel as though they haven’t earned the right to play in that round!
-
It is the responsibility of both teams (not just the home side) to be proactive in making contact to arrange fixtures
-
Please phone a school if you are not getting replies from e-mails and keep a record of attempted communication
-
The WINNING team MUST email the LSFA with results to keep my records up to date
-
Please make sure you stick to the deadlines as you can see one school delaying playing a fixture will eventually have a knock on effect for the whole competition.
-
Contact LSFA BEFORE the deadline if there are any problems with the fixture.
-
Please keep your contact details up to date – any changes please inform the LSFA as soon as you know.
