DON'T X THE LINE....
In conjunction with the F.A.I. "DON'T X THE LINE" scheme there is now a second line painted along the home side sideline, we ask that from this weekend onwards that ALL parents & spectators remain behind this line.
The five aims of the campaign are:
- To eradicate aggressive and abusive behaviour from players and spectators
- To promote zero tolerance of defamatory comments or language, be it racial or discriminatory, towards referees, fellow players and other supporters
- To promote an environment for sportsmanship and fair play in underage football
- To provide education to adults and young people on the importance of respect and tolerance in football
- To encourage safe participation for players and spectators
The Don’t X the Line campaign is trying to encourage the players to enjoy the game and not worry about winning matches - The programme is not only aimed at the players but spectators, parents, coaches and managers to behave while attending games. We aim to nourish and encourage the fun and enthusiasm our young players bring to the game.
It is hoped the campaign will take off and other leagues around the country will adopt it. Already leagues in Monaghan, Cavan, North Dublin and Kerry have held discussions about implementing it.
