WHAT DOES THE TERM ‘RESPECT’ MEAN?
Respect is a positive feeling or action. A person who is respectful has consideration for their needs or feelings of others.
A person who is disrespectful uses inappropriate language and behaviours and offends other people – extreme disrespect is ‘Bullying’. This is unwanted, aggressive behaviour. We do not accept this behaviour in Football (at our Club)
