They are going like hot cakes but there is still time for youth leagues and clubs to claim their free gear ahead of The FA Respect 'Set Your Stall Out' weekend on 10 October.
Last year over 1,200 clubs and 100 leagues took part using the Respect-themed day to set the tone for the season ahead. This year posters, touchline lanyards, bootlaces, sweatbands, tattoos and armbands are all up for grabs – but stocks are going fast.
“I encourage clubs to get their applications in fast so they don’t miss out”
Dermot Collins FA Respect Manager
Since launching the application process two weeks ago already more than 850 teams and 60 leagues have claimed their Respect gear. Teams can register for the resources here: fasetyourstallout.com
Along with the free paraphernalia , there is also the opportunity to purchase touchline barriers, pitch marshall bibs, Respect signage, pitchside Respect boards, Respect badges and other promotional items at a 50 per cent discount through the Football Foundation Respect Equipment scheme.
FA Respect Manager Dermot Collins said: “After seven years, Respect has truly established itself, but the continued enthusiasm and willingness of clubs and leagues to support the programme never ceases to amaze me - demonstrating how much Respect is now at the core of grassroots and youth football.
"I encourage clubs to get their applications in fast so they don’t miss out.”
The FA is keen to hear about their experiences of ‘Respect – 'Set Your Stall Out’. E-mail a picture to Respect.info@TheFA.com
