Dundas Valley Vikings Rugby Football Club outlined disciplinary precedures for season 2011.
This code of conduct is outlined by Dundas Valley Vikings Rugby Football Club in association with the ARU.
While all players and committee are subject to the ARU's Code of Conduct, the new Vikings Disciplinary Protocol applies to all players annouced at the start of each calendar year and any additional players brought into the Dundas Valley Vikings Rugby Football Club squad at any time.
