Expectations of Behaviour Guidelines
The Expectations of Behaviour Guidelines are a simple outline for parents, teachers, coaches and players to ensure everyone is given the opportunity to enjoy the game to the maximum level. Rugby has always been a game that prides itself on fair play and enjoyment for all, so please adhere to these guidelines to ensure this continues.
For further information, please go to www.rugby.com.au/communityrugby
These guidelines have been developed to:
- Maintain the elements of enjoyment and satisfaction in Rugby;
- Make adults aware that young people play to satisfy themselves and not necessarily to satisfy adults or members of their own peer group;
- Improve the physical fi tness of youth by encouraging participation in Rugby by making it attractive, safe and enjoyable
for all young people; and
- Constantly remind administrators, coaches, teachers, referees and parents that Rugby must be administered, taught and provided, for the good of those young people who wish to play the game. It is their game.
Players
- Play for enjoyment, not just to please your parents, teacher or coach.
- Play by the laws of the game.
- Never argue with the referee’s decision. Let your captain or coach ask any necessary questions.
- Control your temper – no ‘mouthing off’.
- Work equally hard for yourself and for your team. Your team’s performance will benefi t and so will your own.
- Be a good sport. Applaud all the good play, whether it is done by your team or your opponent.
- Shake hands with all of the opposing team at the conclusion of the match, and clap them off in the spirit of good
sportsmanship.
- Treat all players as you yourself would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take advantage of any player.
- Treat everyone equally regardless of sex, disability, ethnic origin or religion.
- Remember that the goals of the game are - to have fun, improve your skills and feel good.
- Co-operate with your coach, teacher, team mates, referee and opponents, for without them you do not have a game.
