Understanding Your Rights in Football
If you are involved in football it is important to you know your rights, what you can do and who you can speak too.
Why do You Take Part in Football?
Here are some of the latest reasons of why children and young people take part in football:
“I love taking part in football because it is fun, exciting, gives me exercise and a new challenge every time I play or train”
“I like playing with my friends, and when I tackle or get pass someone I feel good about myself.”
“Spending time with my friends, keeping fit and healthy, having fun and learning new skills no matter what the score.”
“Football is a passion that allows me to take my mind of everything and it keeps me fit and active”
