FA Respect Charter

For those of you who have had children with us for a few seasons you will be familiar with the ethos of the club which is for both children and parents/carers to enjoy their football in a friendly and safe environment.  The club is part of the Nidderdale League which encourages this friendly environment in a non-competitive league.  To re-enforce this all parents/carers have been asked to read and agree to comply with the FA Respect charter as part of our registration process.  In addition we would ask that you to watch the brief videos on the FA Respect charter and specifically parent/carer behaviour;https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YWmH2pwfrvMhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SxNdLPreiAk
