The Gentlemen of Moore Rugby Football Club Rugby is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all its members. The club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators and parents associated with the club should, at all times, show respect. You are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with either Peter Blakeley (Minis Chair), Tracy Oldham (Child Welfare Officer) or any other Member of the Executive Committee if your issues are still not resolved.
As a member of Moore Rugby Football Club Rugby you are expected to abide by the following club rules:
Play because you want to – not to please parents or coaches.
Skill development, fun and enjoyment are the most important part.
Never argue with the referee.
Play well for yourself and your team. Understand the importance of team loyalty.
It is a ‘team’ game! It is very rewarding to play rugby with your mates. Don’t try and grab all the glory yourself.
Be a good sport; recognise all good play whether by your own team or your opponents win or lose.
If you lose, accept it with good grace and try harder next time.
Treat all players as you would like to be treated; do not show off, do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of any player.
Be attentive at all training and coaching sessions.
Play by the Laws of the game and accept without question, the referee’s decision.
Wear your Club kit with pride and remember that you are a representative of the club when you are wearing it.
We do not accept bad behaviour or bad sportsmanship or any breach of the above codes.
Where necessary, internal disciplinary hearings will be held with the parent and child present.
Control your temper.
Listen to your coaches and referees, work with teammates. Without them and your opponents, you cannot play!
All members must play within the rules and respect officials and their decisions.
All members must respect opponents.
Members should keep to agreed timings for training and competitions or inform their coach or team manager if they are going to be late.
Members must wear suitable kit (boots with safety studs, mouth guards, and club kit) for training and match sessions, as agreed with the coach/team manager.
