FA RESPECT
England Football’s Respect programme in partnership with Nationwide Building Society was launched to encourage respect and positivity right across our game. ‘We Only Do Positive' encourages coaches and parents within mini-soccer and youth football to bring about a better, more inclusive and supportive football environment.
In 2017-18 extensive research was carried out into U7s–U18s football to understand where Respect should be positioned and could have the biggest positive impact over time. It was discovered that 9 in 10 children play better with positive encouragement. Research also highlighted the negative results that could arise from a negative experience upon a child.
