The Oval Primary School

Code of Conduct for Competitions

We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in any game, competition or festival. As a participant, you have a big part to play. The Oval Primary School supports The Football Association’s Respect programme to ensure all sport can be enjoyed in a safe, respectful and positive environment.


When representing the school, I will:

• Always play to the best of my ability.

• Play fairly – I won’t cheat, complain or waste time.

• Show respect to my teammates, the referee, my coach / manager / teacher and opponents.

• Show respect to the other team/opponents by joining in with ‘3 cheers…’ at the end of a match / competition and shaking hands with every opponent.

• Thank officials, including referees, umpires and teachers for giving their time.

• Enjoy and appreciate the opportunity of representing the school.
