Respect the Game

On most weekends, tens of thousands of girls, boys, women and men can be found playing and officiating football matches across Victoria, watched and supported by thousands more parents, family members, club officials and volunteers.

Over time, a minority of these people have unfortunately decided that it is ok to:

  • Abuse referees, both official and volunteers

  • Scream and yell at players, coaches and officials

  • Criticise performance rather than celebrate effort

  • Ignore, manipulate and question rules and decisions

The impact this behaviour has on our game cannot be understated. People stop playing the game, referees stop officiating, tensions between clubs rise.

In order to make a genuine difference to the behaviour of everyone involved in our game, a cultural shift needs to occur. This needs to occur at all levels. We need to Respect The Game.


Love the game NOT the odds
