Guidelines and Rules

Guidelines for parents

It is important that the parents contribute in a positive way to their child’s development, and do not cause any negative experiences. A parent can and should have an important role in their child’s sport development.

  • Prioritize the child’s needs and goals – not your own
  • Have conversations focusing on development – not necessarily current accomplishments
  • Have a close dialogue with the coach before you give tactical advises so that the player does not get in a conflict of interest between parents and coach
  • Remember that football is a team sport: even though NF Academy develop individual players, we also aim to develop the participants as team players. A better performance as a team, will lead to a better performance as a player.

Rules for parents

The following rules are included to make sure the sports program can be accomplished as planned in a positive and friendly way, without unreasonable intervention. Violation of the rules can lead to expulsion of parents and player(s) from the event, that is both the sport program and the hotel.

  • The coaches are in charge during NF Academy’s events and are responsible for the players. All parents need to respect and comply the coaches’ instructions.
  • Do not intervene in the decisions of the coaches. This includes the tactics, choice of players positions, group division etc during warm-up, session/match and straight after. There will be opportunity to speak with the coaches after the training/match (after the coach is finished with the players).
  • Do not intervene with the players during warm-up, session/match and straight after. The players need to stay focused until the session is over and the coach has allowed the players to leave.
  • Do not complain to and about the opponent teams and the referee

Rules for players

Violation of the rules can lead to expulsion of parents and player(s) from the event, that is both the sport program and the hotel.

  • The coaches are in charge during NF Academy’s events and are responsible for the players. All players need to respect and comply the coaches’ instructions.
  • No phones, computers, tablets etc except when the coaches accept the use
  • Check and respect the daily schedule (don’t be late!)
  • Respect your coaches, team mates, opponents, referees and parents
  • Bad attitude on and off the field will not be accepted
  • Do not leave the area where the group is staying (hotel, sports fields etc) without permission from either coaches or parents

Food Requirements

Below you will see a nutrition guide that has been made in cooperation with a nutritionist. This is something we consider important for players success, development and health. In this tournament you might not have all the options, but it is something we recommend the players to follow at home. This is surely just an advice for your kids, not an obligation for the tournament nor elsewhere.
– João Plantier, Academy Director
