Charter
for Fairplay
Sports
Associations, their clubs, officials, competitors, players and spectators,
are all representatives of their sport, and must always set a good example of
fairplay. The Federation of Yorkshire Sport urges
everybody connected with sport in the Yorkshire
region to subscribe and adhere to this charter. In particular, it is
essential that all those connected with sport for young people insist on the
highest standards at all times.
