More than just a football club...
Horsham Sparrows FC has been at the heart of the local community and provided youth football in Horsham for almost 60 years.
A strong sense of respect and responsibility among our players, volunteers and supporters is evident in everything we do and we’re proud of our reputation for sporting behaviour and fairness.
Beyond the football pitch, the club is promoting more charity events, such as the recent Under 15 Girls team sponsored walk (when they kicked a ball from Southwater to Shoreham).
As a club we have numerous young volunteers who give up their time to help coach the younger squads – True role models in every sense of the word!
At Horsham Sparrows FC we’re committed to creating a positive and encouraging environment for our players at all times. YOU can make a real difference by being supportive and following the guidelines laid down by the FA’s respect campaign and codes of conduct. Please observe these key principles when attending a children’s football match:
- Always remember, the players are children and the referees and coaches are volunteers.
- Create a positive atmosphere and applaud all good play, including the opposition players
- Support the match officials and respect the decisions they make – Without them, there would be no game!
- Refrain from shouting instructions to players – Let the manager and coaches look after the team.
- Report any abuse or incidents that breach the FA’s code of conduct
- Check the club’s social media and filming policies before sharing any information on-line
By following these guidelines and working together, we can continue to provide a fun footballing experience for everyone.
