Spectators Code of Conduct PDF Print E-mail


The "Club" Thames RFC should encourage Spectators to:

a)                  Act as positive role models to all players.

b)                  Be familiar with, and abide by, the RFU Child Protection Guidance in relation to
                 verbal and emotional abuse.

c)                  Respect guidance from the Club with regard to spectator behaviour.

d)                  Remember children play sport primarily for their own enjoyment, not for that of
                 the spectators.

e)                  Acknowledge good individual and team performance from all players irrespective
                 of the team in which they play.

f)                  Respect match officials’ decisions, even if they appear to make a mistake – remember,
                 they are volunteers providing an opportunity for players to play rugby.

g)                  Never verbally abuse players, coaches, match officials or fellow spectators: such
                 behaviour can create a negative environment for players and their behaviour will
                 often reflect this.

h)                  Acknowledge effort and good performance rather than ‘to win at all costs’.

i)                    Verbally encourage all players in a positive manner, shouting ‘for’, not ‘at’, the
                  players.

j)                   Encourage all players irrespective of the ability – never ridicule any individual
                 player, regardless of the team in which they play.
