At Pocklington RUFC we welcome your support and commitment to your club. We would ask you to follow the principles set out below when supporting the club.
• Be aware of the club Child Protection Policy
• Foster enthusiastic participation, all children should enjoy playing, do not force an unwilling child to participate.
• Provide information re your child’s needs or medical requirements to the club.
• Be accessible in case of an emergency during training and matches.
• Ensure you have contact information for the club and your child’s coach.
• Encourage your child to learn the rules and play within them.
• Discourage unfair play.
• Acknowledge the value and importance of the volunteer coaches and referees who give their time freely.
• Emphasise respect for the referees by not questioning their honesty, skill, or decision making. Publicly accept official’s judgement.
• Encourage your child to improve his or her skills by valuing the coaching.
• Encourage a child who makes a mistake during a game. Never ridicule them.
• Set a good example by applauding both teams.
• Teach your child that winning is not everything and that playing well and fairly, is important.
• Use correct and proper language at all times. Condemn bad behaviour and bad language.
• Try not to shout continually at the children – shout occasionally to encourage them.
• Ensure that your son/daughter is dropped off and picked up from the club and matches and in the case of younger children there will be an expectation that a parent or designated adult remains throughout the session. This responsibility can be delegated but the club must be aware.
• Ensure that your child has the right kit for playing and training. It is desirable to have a change of clothing after matches. The club has a “NO MUDDY PLAYERS” policy within the clubhouse. During the winter months, warm, dry clothing is essential.
• Do not encroach on pitches during matches.
• Coaches and referees are all volunteers we would not have teams or matches without them.
• Discuss any issues with the coach AFTER the match.
