County FA Planning 2010/11 - What is a ‘Respect’ League?

The focus for 2010/11 therefore is on quality of implementation above that of the recruitment of new Leagues.

What makes a functioning Respect League?

• The League needs to have ‘signed up’ and received the Respect Information for its clubs
Lead responsibility: League and County FA Respect Lead Officer (Marion Hayton)

• The League needs to have hosted an information session for its Clubs where it explains its commitment to Respect and the implication for Clubs
Lead responsibility: League supported by the County FA Respect Lead Officer

• The Referees and Match Officials involved in League Fixtures need to have undertaken ‘Respect Training’
Lead responsibility: County FA Referees Development Officer (Matthew Hurst) supported by County FA Respect Lead Officer

• For Youth Leagues – The promotion of FA Education Resources, Codes of Conduct and Designated Spectator Areas to improve the behaviour of Coaches, Managers, Parents and Carers involved in Youth Football
Lead responsibility: League and Clubs supported by the County FA Respect Lead Officer

• The Clubs need to integrate the Respect Codes of Conduct and Sanctions into their registration/membership processes
Lead responsibility: League and Clubs supported by the County FA Respect Lead Officer

• Referees officiating in Leagues which use the FA’s Full Time Programme should provide feedback via the online monitoring as to their match day experience
Lead responsibility: County FA Referees Development Officer supported by the County FA Respect Lead Officer

It will take time to see Respect work at its full potential but it is up to us to make it understood, delivered and embedded into Grassroots Football – Together we will achieve this!
