 SCYR Code of Conduct 

Players

Play by the laws and within the ‘spirit of the game’

Play for the ‘fun of it’ and not just to please parents, coaches and teachers.
Play by the laws and within the ‘spirit of the game’. Shake hands with your opponent after the game.
Control your temper. Verbal abuse officials or other players, deliberately fouling or fighting is neither acceptable nor
permitted in any sport.
Work equally hard for yourself and your team. Your team’s performance will benefit and so will you.
Be a good sport. Admire all good play whether they are by your own team or the other team.
Treat all players as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere with, bully or take unfair advantage of another player.
Co-operate with the referee, your coach, team mates and opponents. Without them there would be no game.
Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
Remember that you have more in common with your opponent than 90% of your peers at school.

Parents, Caregivers and Spectators

Remember children play sport for their enjoyment not yours

Focus upon the child’s efforts and performance rather than the overall outcome of the event. This assists the child in
setting realistic goals related to their ability by reducing the emphasis on winning.
Encourage children to always participate according to the laws.
Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or for being in the losing team.
Remember children learn most by example.
Applaud good play by all teams.
Encourage children to participate, do not force them.
Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities.
Respect official’s decisions and teach children to do likewise.
Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators. Without them your child would not participate.
If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate channels rather than question the official’s
judgment and honesty in public. Remember that most officials give their time and effort for your child’s involvement.
You are not allowed in the playing enclosure during a game.
Consumption of alcohol is forbidden at all junior rugby games.

Administration & Officials

Ensure that equal opportunity for participation in sports is made available to all children.
Ensure that rules, laws, length of games and training schedules take into consideration the age, ability and maturity level
of participating children.
Ensure that adequate supervision is provided by qualified and competent coaches and officials capable of developing
appropriate sports behavior and skill technique.
Ensure there are enough officials to complete league game administration so coaches can coach, referees can referee,
and players can play.
Remember that children participate for their enjoyment and play down the importance of rewards.
Provide clinics aimed at improving the standards of coaching and officiating, with an emphasis on appropriate behavior
and skill technique.
Ensure that parents, caregivers, coaches, sponsors, and participants understand their responsibility regarding fair play.
Ensure laws, rules and regulations match the skill level of children and their needs.
Condemn unsporting behavior and promote respect for all opponents.
Ensure that your behavior is consistent with the principles of good sporting behavior.
Make a personal commitment to keep yourself informed of sound officiating principals and the principals of growth and
development of children.
Coaches will abide by the principals of the Positive Coaching Alliance® Double-Goal Coaching program.
