Community Guidelines

At Footy Access, we're more than just spectators—we're part of a growing community that celebrates the future of football. From rising stars to behind-the-scenes stories, we shine the spotlight on the next generation of athletes. Whether you're here to rep your favorite academy, debate future GOATs, or hype up a clutch play, you're one of us.

Our community thrives when everyone plays by the same rules—respect the game, the grind, and each other. We want Footy Access to be a space where players, fans, parents, and coaches can connect around youth football, share their passions, and elevate the sport together.

These guidelines are here to help keep the conversation fun, focused, and fair—especially because many of our featured athletes are minors. That means we take respectful communication and privacy seriously. If your content or behavior breaks these rules, we may remove it and take further action.

Harassment & Bullying

We're all here because we love football. Keep the discussion about the game, not personal attacks.

• Zero tolerance for bullying, intimidation, or harassment—on or off the pitch.
• No personal attacks, name-calling, or foul language toward users, players, or their families.
• Trash talk is okay in sports—until it crosses the line into abuse. Know the difference.
• Abusing the flag/report system to silence others will result in disciplinary action.

Hateful Conduct

Footy Access is for everyone. Racism, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind will be removed—without exception.

• Do not target or insult others based on race, nationality, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, or any other personal trait.
• No slurs, harmful stereotypes, or coded hate speech.
• Do not promote or glorify violence or deny real-world tragedies.
• Intentionally harmful misinformation targeting individuals or communities is not welcome.

Spam & Solicitation

We encourage thoughtful engagement, not spam.

• Stay on topic. If you're joining a discussion, add value to it—don't flood it with unrelated links or messages.
• Do not solicit followers, likes, or comments in unrelated discussions.
• Promoting your soccer business or highlight reel is allowed—just do it respectfully and in the appropriate context.

Relevancy

Keep the conversation focused on what matters.

• Post about the game, the players, and the stories that make youth football special.
• Off-topic posts, trolling, or entering other teams' communities just to stir drama is not welcome.
• When replying to others, stay within the context of the conversation.
• New topics are encouraged—but they must reflect the spirit of Footy Access.

Parody & Impersonation

Creative content is welcome, but deception is not.

• Fan and parody accounts must be clearly labeled in your profile (e.g., "fan account" or "parody account").
• Do not impersonate other users, athletes, coaches, or public figures.
• Do not create multiple accounts to mislead, harass, or bypass restrictions.

Explicit Content

Footy Access is a youth-centered platform. Content must reflect that standard.

• No offensive, harmful, or sexually explicit content.
• Do not share or promote pornographic material.
• Absolutely no sharing or requesting of nudes or sexual content—this includes minors and adults.
• Content involving minors will be held to the highest privacy and safety standards, in accordance with our Children's Privacy Policy.

Private Information

Protect privacy—yours and others'.

• Never post someone else's personal or sensitive information (e.g., phone number, address, private messages) without consent.
• Even if someone is a public figure, they still deserve privacy—especially if they are under 18.
• Do not share screenshots, recordings, or DMs without permission.

Enforcement

If you violate these Community Guidelines, Footy Access may take one or more of the following actions:

• Remove your content
• Limit your ability to post or comment
• Suspend or permanently ban your account

Serious violations, especially those involving minors, hate speech, or safety concerns, may result in permanent bans and possible reporting to appropriate authorities.

Safety & Moderation

Our moderation team works to keep the environment respectful and safe for all. Content shared on the platform may be reviewed and recorded for moderation, safety, and service improvement purposes. By participating in our community, you agree to abide by these guidelines and support a healthy, positive atmosphere.
