Respect on the Sidelines
The Perth Football League is committed to fostering a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone involved in our game: players, coaches, umpires, and supporters alike.
To support this, we encourage clubs to explore the True Sport Sideline Behaviour Initiative, which provides practical tools, resources, and messaging to help promote positive behaviour and reduce incidents of poor conduct on the sidelines. The initiative reinforces an important message: “There’s no place for poor sideline behaviour. Let us play!”
By promoting respect and accountability across our community, we can ensure that football remains safe, enjoyable, and welcoming for all.
