The reFspect awareness weekend is an initiative aimed at improving the behaviour of parents and spectators, by reducing the number of incidents of poor touchline behaviour we aim to maintain the current number of referees and help to attract many more new referees to the beautiful game.

We would like all football clubs to raise awareness of reFspect by signing up to support the weekend.
This can be done online at www.dontxtheline.com or by calling 07951 442 480

Don’t X The Line Campaign is credited as the forerunner for the FA’s, Respect Programme; we are a CIC and voluntary
organisation. We are very proud of its achievements to date. Also, we will continue to make a difference at grassroots level by relying on the ongoing work carried out by our many volunteers last year, Professional clubs supported Don’t X The Line Campaign and helped with the awareness of ‘Respect the
Referee’. This included promoting the message over the public address system, advertising it on club websites and a
mention in the match day programme. Some Clubs further responded by providing their logo. Also, some managers participated by wearing a lapel badge in support of the awareness weekend.
Don’t X The Line Campaign requests the media, clubs and County FAs to offer active support, where possible for ‘Respect The Referee’ awareness weekend and fair play within grassroots football.

Many thanks for your continued support.
