JUNIOR RUGBY CODE OF CONDUCT - Referee's Code
INTRODUCTION
This code is designed:
•To maintain the element of enjoyment and satisfaction in Junior Rugby.
•To make adults aware that young people play to satisfy themselves and not necessarily to
satisfy adults or members of their own peer group.
•To improve the physical fitness of youth by making it attractive, safe and enjoyable for all
Young people.
•To constantly remind Administrators, Coaches, Referees, 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!
REFEREE'S CODE
1. Ensure that "over-refereeing" the game does not lose the 'spirit of the game' for young people.
2. Actions speak louder than words. Ensure that both on and off the field your behavior is
consistent with the principles of good sportsmanship.
3. Compliment both teams on their good play whenever such praise is deserved.
4. Be consistent, objective and courteous.
5. Condemn the deliberate 'good foul' as being unsportsmanlike, thus retaining respect for fair
play.
6. Publicly encourage law changes, which will reinforce the principles of participation for fun and
enjoyment.
7. Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed on sound refereeing principles and
the principles of growth and development of young people.
8. Avoid comment on Competition Rules, only deal with the Laws of the Game.
