2. PARENTS / SPECTATORS

Do not force an unwilling child to participate in sport.

• Remember that children participate in Rugby League for their own enjoyment, not yours!

• Understand that sport is part of a total life experience, and the benefits of involvement go far beyond the final score of a game.

• Condemn all violent or illegal acts, whether they are by players, coaches, officials, parents or spectators.

• Respect the match officials decisions – don’t complain or argue about decisions during or after a game.

• Behave! Unsporting language, harassment or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated.

• Encourage players to play by the rules and to respect opposition players and officials.

• Never ridicule or scorn a player for making a mistake – respect their efforts.

• Participate in positive cheering that encourages the players in the team you are supporting; do not engage in any jeering that taunts or intimidates opponents, their fans or officials.

• At all times, follow the directions of the Ground Manager and/or other match day staff.

• Never arrive at a game under the influence of alcohol,never bring alcohol to a game, and only drink alcohol, if it is available at the ground, in the designated licensed area.
