The rules apply to all members of the club including players, coaches and physios.

The Footscray Commandments exists for two reasons; to enforce the attitudes and commitments expected of those involved in Footscray Rugby Club, and to provide some cash to contribute towards the running of Footscray Rugby Club and, if applicable, post match refreshment.

1. You will train at least once a week.
Failure to do so will result in a £2 fine.
Note: Injured player’s are expected to see the Physio once a week. Book with captain.

2. You will respond to availability text messages within 12 hours.
Failure to do so will result in a £2 fine.
Note: if you are unsure at message time, you should communicate this.

5. You will wear club shorts and club socks for every league game.
Failure to do so will require you to purchase the correct kit on match day.

6. You will remember the calls.
Failure to do so will result in a shake down after the game and an appropriate fine.

Failure to do so will result in a £2 fine.

11.Each week there will be a Captain’s Call.
This is a series of tasks nominated to players by the captain (or nominee).
Failure to complete your task will result in an appropriate fine. These are easy jobs, designed to use many hands to make light work, so be advised that failure to comply will result in heavy fines.

12.The weekly Fine Master can nominate any additional fines as they see fit.

FAILURE TO PAY UP YOUR FINES WILL RESULT IN INTEREST BEING ACCRUED AT THE RATE OF 100% PER WEEK.

ALL FINES ARE TO BE TAKEN IN GOOD GRACE – The money will go towards helping Footscray Rugby Club, if players performances warrant reward then money will be donated to some sort of liquid based team building activity.
