• Recognise and appreciate the efforts made by all coaches, parents, match officials and administrators in providing the opportunity for them to be able to play rugby and enjoy the rugby environment.
• Understand the values of loyalty and commitment to coaches and fellow team mates.
• Understand that if an individual or group of players feel they are not being treated in a manner that is acceptable, then they should tell an adult either at the Club or outside the game.
• Take part in rugby because they want to do so, not because they want to please coaches or parents.
• Remember that skill development, fun and enjoyment are the most important part of the game.
• Be attentive at all training and coaching sessions.
• Work equally hard for themselves and their fellow team mates, both will then benefit.
• Recognise good play by any players either on their own team or by their opponents.
• Be a good sportsperson - win with dignity, lose with grace. Play to the rules of the game and accept without question, all referee's decisions even if they appear to be incorrect.
• Control their emotions. Verbal or physical abuse of team mates, opponents, coaches, match officials or spectators is not acceptable behaviour.
• Treat all players, as they would be like to be treated themselves. Do not interfere with, bully or take advantage of any player.
