Chairmans Letter Christmas 2008

Hi everyone,

A quick year-end letter to all the parents (who have submitted their email addresses to their Coach) and also your children so please pass this email on to them or even better, discuss its contents with them.

This letter is also available on our website www.worcesterraiders.com and our new Facebook Group http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=41816552341&ref=nf

2009 will see an important step change in the FA Respect campaign.

Children, parents and Club members will all be asked to sign up to a process of improving the quality of the game both on and off the pitch.

You will all have experienced or witnessed unacceptable behaviour either between players or parents or against match and club officials.

The new Charter will include agreeing to abide to a new set of rules including how you as a player, parent or official treat your fellow colleagues or opponents.

I'm not going to go through the details here, you can click on this link to find out more http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Respect/MyRole/

My main point is that football within the FA at grass roots level needs to return to being a game, a sport and a social event.

Abusive behaviour by any player, parent or club official towards ANY other participant will not be tolerated.

Under the new FA campaign for Respect, WRFC now reserves the right to eject any player, parent or club official for ANY event of gross misconduct either on or off the field.

Should any adult be asked to leave the club then their son (s) /daughter (s) will also need to leave at the same time.

Worcester Raiders was and always has been about providing fun and inclusive football for all.

I know that all of you want this and will support the Committee in it's efforts in 2009 to bring Respect back to the game.

May I take this opportunity of personally wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and (especially this year) a prosperous New Year.

Francisco Serrano

Chairman
Worcester Raiders Football Club
