As young players, we are taught to follow the Core Values of rugby. If you come to watch me play rugby, it is important to me that you do too.
These values are: Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.

Respect is very important and under the Core Values it says:

 We respect our match officials and accept their decisions.
 We respect opposition players and supporters
 We value our coaches and those who run our clubs.
We are also taught under Sportsmanship:
 We observe fair play both on and off the pitch.
 We are generous in victory and dignified in defeat.

We play because we enjoy it. Enjoyment is what our game is about.
WE WANT YOU TO ENJOY THE GAME AS MUCH AS WE DO

Show your team and the opposition the respect and support they deserve.
Don’t make comments about our performance or the opposition team’s performance.

Please ignore the score, it is the game that is so much more important.
We respect our referees; they are in charge of the game and give up their time so that we can play. They are volunteers and do their best to make sure that we are safe and having fun.

WE WANT YOU TO RESPECT OUR REFEREES TOO.
Don’t shout at the referee please or challenge his/her decisions
We value our coaches and respect players from the opposition, their coaches and supporters.

WE WANT YOU TO RESPECT AND VALUE THEM TOO.
We do not want our game spoilt by the bad behaviour of adults: parents, coaches or spectators.

We can learn to be generous in victory and dignified in defeat and we want you to be too.

THIS IS OUR TEAM, OUR CLUB AND OUR SPORT. PLEASE DON’T SPOIL IT.

The only sound we expect to hear on our touchlines is positive support & polite applause for the efforts of ALL on the playing field
