Our Commitment to Respect at Norristhorpe Junior Football Club
At Norristhorpe Junior Football Club, we’re more than just a collection of teams—we’re a community that believes in the power of positivity. We’re proud to support England Football’s “We Only Do Positive” initiative because we know that the way we support our young players shapes not just their football skills but their character and confidence as well.
We Only Do Positive
As coaches, volunteers, and supporters across all age groups at the club, we see ourselves as role models for your children. We understand the significant role we play in their lives, and we take this responsibility seriously. We’re committed to leading by example, showing your children what it means to be positive, supportive, and respectful, both on and off the pitch.
Creating the Right Environment for Your Child
Our number one priority is ensuring that every child at Norristhorpe enjoys their time playing football. We want your child to feel free to express themselves, try new things, and play without fear of failure. It’s crucial that they know it’s okay to make mistakes—because that’s how they learn and grow. We focus on what they do well and offer constructive guidance to help them improve, making sure that every experience is a positive one.
Leading by Example
We know that children look to us for guidance, especially during challenging moments. Whether it’s after a tough game or when a decision doesn’t go our way, we promise to handle every situation with grace and humility. By staying calm and thoughtful in our interactions, we set a strong example for your children, teaching them how to manage their emotions and behave with integrity.
Understanding and Supporting Every Player
We believe that to bring out the best in your child, we need to know them as individuals. Across all our teams, we take the time to learn about each player’s interests, challenges, and goals, so we can support them in a way that resonates with them personally. When your child knows they are valued and understood, they are more likely to enjoy their football and perform to their best ability.
A Positive Team Around Your Child
Success in football is a team effort, and that includes the support network surrounding your child. From fellow coaches to supportive parents on the sidelines, everyone plays a part in creating the positive environment we strive for at Norristhorpe. We work together, respecting each other’s roles, to ensure that your child feels encouraged and supported every step of the way.
Believing in Your Child’s Potential
At Norristhorpe, we believe that anything is possible for your child. As coaches and mentors, we’re here to inspire them to dream big and believe in themselves. By fostering a culture of encouragement and positivity, we help your child to see their potential and to pursue it with confidence—both on the football field and in life.
