The FA aims to help parents play a positive role, recognising that involvement in football can greatly influence the development of children, both in the football environment and in their overall lifestyles.
As a result, The FA launched Soccer Parent to work positively with parents, with the intention of raising both standards of behaviour and knowledge, as well as looking to attract new volunteers to the game.

The FA has launched an on line version of the programme. Parents, coaches, teachers and young players will find a whole host of interactive information, games, puzzles and downloads aimed at getting the Soccer Parent message across.
The online Soccer Parent course will explain how clubs and schools can organise a Parents evening to communicate good practise in a fun and friendly way. But the beauty of the Internet and its 24-hour access is that the whole course can be easily completed at any time by anyone who has access to a computer.
Soccer Parent is a completely free on-line course that is available to anybody that registers with FA Learning – The FA’s Educational Provider. Everyone that completes the course and achieves the pass mark can immediately print off an accredited certificate directly from the website.

Northumberland FA believes that a young player can benefit in many ways from support given by Parents and the extended family.
All those involved in the game should set a good example for the players.
All affiliated clubs should have codes of conduct for all those involved including Parents,Supporters,Players and Coaches.
Why not go one step further and approach a club to see how you can help them.
