10 YOUTH TEAMS IN CORNWALL RECEIVE 100% POSITIVE RESPECT MARKS

Respect is a high priority for Cornwall FA as we recognise that when players, coaches and spectators show positive behaviour towards each other and match officials, everyone involved in football has fun.   

Following new respect reports received from The FA, collated from the respect marks submitted on Full Time after youth matches, we are pleased and proud to report that these 10 youth teams in Cornwall received 100% positive respect marks during the first quarter of this season.

• Kelliwik Youth FC U11’s 
• Torpoint Athletic Youth U12’s 
• AFC St Blazey U8’s Vipers
• Callington Colts U14’s
• Callington Colts U15’s
• Charlestown Youth U10’s Cavaliers
• Kelliwik Youth U9’s
• Perranwell Youth U16’s
• Saltash Utd Juniors U10’s Foxes
• Saltash Utd Juniors U14’s Pumas

These 10 brilliant teams were then put into a draw and three lucky winners will receive a prize. They are:

• AFC St Blazey U8’s Vipers
• Charlestown Youth U10’s Cavaliers
• Kelliwik Youth U9’s

Whilst recognising the positive behaviour shown by these teams, we also want to thank the youth leagues who have been promoting respect to their member clubs, and also fully utilising the Full-Time and Whole Game Systems marking schemes. By doing this it allows us to monitor clubs and reward well behaved clubs.  

We would like to thank the East Cornwall Youth Football League who have had over 420 respect reports submitted so far this season by its member clubs.

We will be giving away prizes and rewards every quarter to the clubs with the best behaviour and the highest respect marks so there are still plenty of opportunities to win - don’t forget though we only take the marks submitted via The Full Time website. 

Some things your club can do to promote respect and good behaviour are:

Players

• Respect hand shake before the game
• Play by the rules and respect the referee at all times
• Shake hands with the other team (and referee) win or lose
