Madras Rugby Club Values and Ethos


It was agreed by the clubs general Committee that the club should have its own Values and ethos. I am pleased to announce these and ask all coaches, volunteers and parents to emphasise the importance of these both at the club and in life general.

SOLIDARITY - Rugby provides a unifying spirit that leads to lifelong friendships, camaraderie, teamwork and loyalty which transcends cultural, geographic, political and religious differences

RESPECT - Respect for team mates, opponents, match officials and those involved in the Game is paramount

ENJOYMENT - Enjoyment is the reason we play and support rugby union. We encourage players to enjoy training and playing. We use our sport to adopt a healthy lifestyle and build life skills. We safeguard our young players and help them have fun. We enjoy being part of a team and part of the rugby family.

HONESTY - is the foundation upon which rugby union is built. We uphold the rugby tradition of camaraderie with teammates and opposition. We observe honest but fair play both on and off the pitch and are generous in victory and dignified in defeat. We play to win but not at all costs and recognise both endeavour and achievement. We ensure that the wellbeing and development of individual players is central to all rugby activity.
