Trevor Brooking and the FA are currently working on a Code of Conduct for Grass Roots football which will clamp down on "touchline bullies" and "win at all costs football".
Extracts of the story says -
"Good behaviour and habits have to start at the early, grass roots level - Mums, Dads, Coaches and Managers, it all starts with the small sided game" - "Its no good if as soon as these youngsters try to pass the ball, they are bellowed at by Coaches or Parents because the pass might have gone wrong" - "They cannot be scared of losing the game at that age. We have got to make sure we embarrass these people on the sidelines into changing their behaviour." (The article is an extract from the Express and Star on 23/9/05)
All of us at Gornal Colts FC and Gornal Girls FC look forward to the new FA Code of Conduct.
