Rothwell Juniors has introduced a Touchline Monitor Protocol for the 25/26 season. In summary, a parent/guardian from Rothwell Juniors will put on a light blue hi-vis tabard at each home game and hopefully help to stop the “wrong uns” from spoiling our children’s football.

We are hoping to reduce the following:

• parents coaching their kids,

• persistent criticism and challenging of the referee and their decisions,

• negative interactions between spectators and players,

• negative interactions between the two sets of spectators

and create the following:

• positive environment for all players

• enjoyable experience for all

The only qualification required of a parent/guardian is: “an adult who cares about the environment in which their child plays football”

This should be everyone.

There is nothing new in any of the above. These expected standards of positive behaviour already form part of FA, County FA, League and Club rules, whether it is Rothwell Juniors or yourselves. We hope you will help to support this initiative. Could you please pass this message on to any parents or spectators who will be attending the match.
