Codes of Conduct for Youth and Mini Rugby
|
|
|
The Players Code |
|
| Participate for the "Fun of it" - not just to please your parents or coach | |
| Play by the laws of the game. | |
| Accept all the referee's decisions. | |
| Control your temper - you and your team will benefit | |
| Keep Trying - even when it seems hopeless. | |
| Be a good sport - recognise all good play, whether by your team or by your opponents team. | |
| Treat all players as you would like to be treated - don't interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of any player. | |
| Remember - as well as enjoyment, the aims of the game are to improve your skills and feel good. | |
| Co-operate with your coach, referee, team-mates and opponents - without them you don't have a game |
 |
| Do not "Over Celebrate" after scoring! | |
| The Parent's and Spectator's Code | |
| Do not force or cajole an unwilling child to participate in rugby. | |
| Teach your child always to know and play by the laws of the game. | |
| Instil in the children an understanding and enjoyment of the value of coaching - Always keep off the pitch | |
| Recognise the efforts and importance of coaches and referees - they give freely of their time to provide rugby for children. | |
| Learn that children play rugby for their own fun, not to entertain you. They are not miniature internationals. | |
| Stress the need to respect referees - Don't abuse them yourself by publicly questioning their honesty or decision-making. |
 |
| Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake - Always offer positive support and encouragement. | |
| Applaud good play by both teams (they will hear this) - Don't shout continuously (They won't be listening) | |
| Encourage honest effort - Teach Children that this is as important as victory | |
| Set a good example to everyone else by YOUR behaviour - Always condemn the use of bad language. | |
