We Make Footballers USA, along with our independently owned and operated franchise locations, is committed to providing a caring, friendly, and safe environment for all staff, players, and families so they can participate in soccer in a relaxed and secure atmosphere.
Bullying of any kind is unacceptable. If bullying does occur, all staff, players, and families should know that incidents can be reported and will be dealt with promptly and effectively by local academy management.
Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person, resulting in pain and distress to the victim. Bullying can be:
Bullying hurts. No one deserves to be a victim of bullying, and everyone has the right to be treated with respect. At We Make Footballers, our aim is to develop great players who perform well and have the right attitude. Bullying will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
A child may show signs that they are being bullied. Adults should be aware of and investigate if a child:
In more serious cases: cries themselves to sleep, stops eating, becomes unusually aggressive, or threatens self-harm. These signs may indicate other problems, but bullying should always be considered and investigated.
Each We Make Footballers academy is independently owned and operated.
Local Reporting: All bullying incidents should be reported immediately to the local Franchise Owner or the lead coach on site.
Investigation & Timeline: The local franchise will investigate the behavior as quickly as possible. The academy and/or Head Office reserve a reasonable amount of time to conduct a thorough investigation, interview relevant parties, and review any available evidence before a final decision is reached. Parents or guardians of the involved children will be informed and may be asked to discuss the situation.
Action & Disciplinary Measures: We Make Footballers reserves the right to determine the appropriate response based on the severity of the incident. While we may attempt to help an individual change their behavior, we are under no obligation to provide a second chance or a warning period. In cases of serious or persistent bullying, the local franchise reserves the right to immediately and permanently ban the individual from the program without notice.
Parent & Guardian Conduct: Our commitment to a safe environment extends to the behavior of adults. We Make Footballers reserves the right to remove any parent or guardian from the program if their conduct — towards coaches, players, or other families — violates our Code of Conduct or interferes with the safe operation of our sessions.
Severe Incidents: In cases of serious physical harm or abuse, local Police or Child Protective Services (or relevant state authorities) will be consulted by the local franchise for advice.
Corporate Escalation: If a local concern is not resolved, or if an adult is reported to be bullying a minor, please contact our head office at info@wemakefootballers.com. We take these reports seriously and will require the local franchise to take appropriate action.
