We Play Safe

Polegate Grasshoppers have made the pledge to Play Safe.

English football unites this weekend to promote Play Safe – our countrywide campaign to focus attention on the vital importance of safeguarding across our national game. Our Play Safe campaign is endorsed by the NSPCC and will be supported this weekend across every level of English football, including the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League, Barclays Women’s Championship, National League and across the grassroots game. This year’s Play Safe campaign focuses on the safeguarding role that everyone can play – coaches, players, parents/carers, spectators or volunteers – to keep children and young people safe, no matter what the football setting.

Polegate Grasshoppers FC have always had the childrens safety as our top priority, ensuring all coaches, managers and committee members have had training from The FA. This weekend we have shown our support to this pledge by our team captains wearing the Play Safe armbands, and our managers wearing the Play Safe pin.

We ask our parents / guardians / carers /  observers to also click the link below to receive training by The FA.
