Southdown are backing the FA's 'pledge of positivity' campaign to help make grass roots football a positive experience for everyone. The campaign fits perfectly with Southdown's own commitment to be an inclusive and welcoming community club - a philosophy we have been following for 50 years!

The FA’s pledge of positivity is a commitment by parents, spectators and coaches in grassroots football to use their influence to make the match day a more positive environment. Those making the pledge commit to actively encourage players on both teams, to respect referees, coaches and other spectators. These simple behaviours are proven to make football a more enjoyable and positive experience for everyone.

We would encourage all our coaches, parents and supporters to take time to make the pledge of positivity on the FA website
