THE GOOD PLAYER’S CODE
PLAYERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO:
· Recognise and appreciate the efforts made by coaches, parents, match officials and administrators in providing the opportunity for you to play and enjoy the rugby environment.
· Understand the values of loyalty and commitment to adults and teammates.
· Recognise that every young player has a right to expect their involvement in rugby to be safe and free from all types of abuse.
· Understand that if an individual or group of young players feel they are not being treated in a manner that is acceptable, then you have a right to tell an adult either at the rugby club or outside of the game.
PLAYERS SHOULD:
· Play because you want to do so, not to please coaches or parents.
· Remember that skill development, fun and enjoyment are the most important parts of the game.
· Be attentive at all training and coaching sessions.
· Work equally hard for yourself and your team – both will then benefit.
· Recognise good play by all players on your team and by your opponents.
· Be a sportsman – win or lose.
· Play to the Laws of the Game and accept, without question, all referees’ decisions.
· Control your emotions. Verbal or physical abuse of teammates, opponents or match officials is not acceptable.
· Treat all players as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take advantage of any player.
