At Leamington RUFC we welcome spectators to our youth games and we ask that you abide by the following code of conduct
Act as positive role models to all players.
Be familiar with, and abide by, the RFU Child Protection Guidance in relation to verbal and emotional abuse.
Respect guidance from the Club or School with regard to spectator behavior. Remember children play sport primarily for their own enjoyment, not for that of the spectators.
Acknowledge good individual and team performance from all players irrespective of the team in which they play.
Respect match officials' decisions, even if they appear to make a mistake - remember, they are volunteers providing an opportunity for players to play rugby.
Never verbally abuse players, coaches, match officials or fellow spectators: such behavior can create a negative environment for players and their behavior will often reflect this.
Acknowledge effort and good performance rather than 'to win at all costs'.
Verbally encourage all players in a positive manner, shouting 'for', not 'at', the players.
Encourage all players irrespective of their ability - never ridicule any individual player, regardless of the team in which they play. |
