Junior Section Blandford Rugby Football
Club
Code of Conduct - Spectators |
Spectators will be encouraged to:
- Act as positive role models to all young players
- Be familiar with, and abide by the BRFC and RFU Child
Protection Guidelines in relation to verbal and emotional abuse.
- Respect the rule and guidelines set out by BRFC Junior
Section. All spectators should:
- Remember children play sport for their enjoyment and not
that of their parents.
- Acknowledge good individual and team performance from
all youngsters irrespective of the team for whom they play.
- Respect match officials' decisions. Remember - they are
volunteers providing an opportunity for youngsters to play rugby.
- Never verbally abuse young players, match officials,
fellow spectators or coaches. Such behaviour can create a negative environment
for young players and their behaviour will often reflect this.
- Acknowledge effort and good performance rather than the
"win at all costs" ethic.
- Verbally encourage all youngsters in a positive way. If
you do want to shout make sure it is "for" and not "at" the players.
- Encourage all youngsters irrespective of their ability -
never ridicule any individual player regardless of the team for whom they play.
Spectators should contact the BRFC Welfare Officer if they
have any concerns about the rules and guidelines set out in this Child
Protection Policy or if they believe that there is a child abuse concern. |
