For parents
short rules and wishes
Always be supportive of your child. Whenever possible, attend all your child’s games and tournaments, cheer on his or her team, and show a love of the game.
- Be a role model for your child. Play sports and games with him or her. If possible, watch a lot of football and other matches together.
- Always trust the coach of your child’s team who is licensed and qualified to work with children. Respect the coach’s choices. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the coach privately to discuss them.
- Get your child to training and play on time. If you want to watch the training, do so from the stands or a designated area. The older the child grows, the more distracted he/she will become by the presence of a parent during practice. Never interfere with the practice unless the coach asks you to.
- During matches, the opposing side of the players’ benches shall be in the stands or, failing that, on the edge of the pitch. Never stand in the technical area or near a team bench. Also, avoid standing behind the goals so as not to disturb the goalkeepers in their work.
- Leave the coaching of the children to the coach, both during training and during games. Refrain from coaching and evaluating children off the field.
- Remember that every child is different in terms of their abilities. Allow your child to develop a wide range of physical and mental abilities. Don’t just focus on winning and achieving it.
- Be a role model for your child, don’t lose control of your emotions. Avoid blaming and criticising judges for their mistakes. To err is human!
- Always play fair! Be respectful to your child and to his or her teammates. Recognise both your child and the team for their joint effort, both in victory and defeat.
Pay attention to your child’s healthy and balanced diet and adequate rest and sleep time. - The first contact person for the child and the parent is the team coach. If you or your child have a disagreement with the coach or if you cannot agree on something, please contact the FC Levadia Jalgjallikool management.
- If you see that FC Levadia Jalgjallikool or the club is lacking or that some things could be done better, feel free to contact the management and make your suggestions. Criticism should always be constructive and constructive!
- Always pay your football school invoices on time. Tuition fees are payable 12 months per year. If necessary, apply for a waiver of the monthly fee by sending a simple written request to the FCLJK CEO.
- Beware of posts on social media that damage the reputation of the club and team.
- In order not to confuse players’ uniforms – parents should put their child’s initials on all items of equipment, so that in case of loss it can be understood to whom the uniform belongs
- Parents are allowed ONLY at open training sessions or competitions, which are informed in advance by the coach or club management.
- Parents must not interfere in the training process.

- The use of telephones during training is prohibited. To avoid any confusion, parents should switch off their mobile phones when entering the hall or stadium.
