"Providing youth football
in Horsham since 1967"

Welcome to Horsham Sparrows FC

At Horsham Sparrows FC we’re committed to creating a positive, enjoyable and encouraging environment for our players at all times but we can’t do this alone. 

YOU can make a real difference by being supportive and following 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!
  • Always remain in the asigned spectators area and never enter the field of play without the authority of the referee
  • Refrain from shouting instructions to players – Let the coaches look after the team while you watch the players have fun.
  • Report any abuse or incidents that breach the FA’s code of conduct. Anti social behaviour on the sidelines will never be tollerated.
  • Check the club’s social media and filming policies before sharing any information on-line/on social media

It’s also important that you understand the principles of the club and how we operate. Therefore, please take the time to read and understand the relevant documents below:
