Parents Code of Conduct

In general, with regards to the running of the Player Development Centre, parents will agree to:

Keep us informed of any absences from training or matches (due to injury, holiday etc)

Ensure that the player is accompanied to pitch side for registration for all sessions. This is due to the fact that the coach of the Centre may need to communicate information with parents; which may be easiest to do face to face. 

If for any reason a player leaves the Players Development Centre programme, parents will inform Midlands Development Centre of this decision by giving a months notice.

In more football-specific terms

A parent/carer of spectator’s expectations and attitudes have a significant bearing on a child’s attitude towards:

  • Football in general
  • Other players
  • Officials
  • Managers/coaches
  • Spectators

Midlands Development Centre wish to ensure that parent/carers/spectators within the Centre are always positive and encouraging towards all of the children – not just their own.

As a parent, I will:

  • Remember that children play for fun.
  • Let the coaches do their job and not confuse the players by telling them what to do and not to try and coach from the side-lines.
  • Encourage the players to respect the opposition and match officials.
  • Never criticise a player for making a mistake, mistakes are part of learning. 

Midlands Development Centre will encourage parents/carers/spectators to:

  • Avoid coaching any child during training or games – please leave that to our coaches.
  • Not to shout or scream.
  • Respect the referee’s/coaches decision.
  • Give attention to each of the children involved in football not just the most talented.
  • Give encouragement to everyone to participate in football.

If parents have a grievance with a coach, please discuss this discreetly with the Centre Manager.
