FAW CODE OF CONDUCT

Parents, Guardians and Spectators

Llanelli Town AFC Academi fully supports the Football Association of Wales ‘Behind the Line, Behind the Team’ campaign and acknowledges that football coaches and volunteers have a fantastic opportunity to be a positive role model for the young people involved. We all have a responsibility to ensure that everyone involved in football finds it to be a fun, safe and positive experience.

Please show your support for FAW Safeguarding by signing the below declaration. By signing this Code of Conduct you demonstrate that you understand the following conditions, and breach of this could lead to disciplinary action.

Parents, guardians and spectators are expected to:
