Club Values

Our purpose

To create a fun and supportive rugby experience for boys and girls that focuses on the development of players, referees and coaches.

Welcoming – We are inclusive, we welcome all members of the community and all levels of ability to participate in rugby and become participating members of our club
Having fun – Friendship and fun are paramount for our players and parents
Attitude – We are passionate about rugby, we share a common enthusiasm for the game and it binds us as a club
Learning – We aim to achieve all aspects of player development including skills, teamwork, character and sportsmanship
Excellence – In all we do at all levels of the club we strive to do our best at all times.
Sportsmanship – Developing character, respect for the game, respect for our team, respect for the referees, respect for our coaches & respect for the opposition is more important than individual glory.

We don’t swear.
We don’t talk to the referee (only the Captain does).
We don’t talk to the opposition during a game …. we NEVER sledge!
We play hard but we play fair.
We play to win but we may not always (that’s ok, it’s a game).
We play hard to the final whistle, we NEVER give up!
At the end of every game we shake hands and give 3 cheers for the opposition and 3 cheers for the referees.
We sing the club song in a team huddle at the end of every game.
Playing & competing is FUN!

Training is ALWAYS on (no matter the weather, we can train indoors).
We arrive ON TIME, EVERY TIME (we don’t let down our mates or disrespect our coaches).
We train to improve, we train to win.
Training is FUN!

We are brave, fit and fast.
We love playing with the ball in hand, we are ALWAYS hungry for the ball.
When the ball is on the ground we don’t stop and look, we don’t wait for others to pick it up, we pick it up, we dive on it, we steal it, WE WANT IT MORE!
We run straight, we run hard.
We run into gaps or pass to put our mates into gaps.
We win scrums to win the ball.
We win line-outs to win the ball.
We love scoring tries.
In defense WE TACKLE.
We NEVER let our teammates down, we are brave, we tackle hard!
We get up quickly from every ruck, we never turn our backs on the game.
Our rugby is FUN!

Children play organised sports for fun. They are not playing for the entertainment of spectators only, nor are they miniature professionals.
Applaud good performances and efforts from each team. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game’s outcome.
Respect the officials’ decision.
Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition.
Positive comments are motivational and encourage continued effort.
Condemn the use of violence in any form, be it by spectators, coaches, officials or players.
Show respect for your team’s opponents. Without them there would be no game.
Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials’ decisions.
Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using foul language, harassing players, coaches or officials.
Comments should not interfere with the running of the game.
Focus on the efforts and performance of the children rather than the result.
Praise is encouraged at all levels.
