The Grassroots Code
The Grassroots Code is designed to unite everyone across grassroots football, driving positive standards of behaviour we can all get behind
Working with grassroots clubs, England Football have created The Grassroots Code which sets out the standards everyone expects to see across the grassroots game.
This includes five Standards of Behaviour essential to a positive football environment, clearly defined so that everyone can understand and remember them:
• 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
Good behaviour deserves everyone's respect
By respecting these Standards, we make football better for everyone. To find out how you can play your part in ensuring football offers an inclusive and respectful experience for all, download The Grassroots Code relevant to you.
