Advice for spectators

• Remember that young people participate in sport for their enjoyment and benefit, not yours.
• Acknowledge good performances from all individuals and teams.
• Congratulate all participants on their performance, regardless of the game's outcome.
• Respect the decisions of officials and teach young people to do the same.
• Never ridicule a young player for making a mistake. Positive comments are always motivational.
• Condemn the use of violence in any form, whether it is by other spectators, coaches, officials or players.
• Show respect for your team's opponents. Without them, there would be no game.
• Encourage all players to follow the rules and the officials' decisions.
• Do not use foul language or harass players, coaches or officials.
• Behave responsibly. Discriminatory, offensive and violent behaviour towards any individual is unacceptable and will be acted upon.
• Respect the rights and dignity of every young person regardless of their gender, ability, cultural background or religion.
