Everyone involved in rugby in England, whether as a player, coach, referee, administrator, parent or spectator is expected to uphold the Core Values of our sport:
Teamwork – Respect – Enjoyment – Discipline – Sportsmanship
• Play to win – but not at all cost
• Win with dignity, lose with grace
• Observe the Laws and regulations of the game
• Respect opponents, referees and all participants
• Reject cheating, racism, violence and drugs
• Value volunteers and paid officials alike
• Enjoy the game
We aim to be constantly promoting and reinforcing positive behaviour and developing all children's self-esteem through celebration of achievement. In this way, by aiming to 'include' everyone in the rugby community, it is much less likely either those children will become a focus for bullying, or that others may resort to bullying encourage children, parents and club personnel to report any suspected instances of bullying to a member of the coaching staff or to the Club's Safeguarding Officer.
