It is the aim of our club to provide our members with the best possible environment in which the boys and girls can develop their rugby skills. Mount Junior Rugby Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all its members. The club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators, referees and parents associated with the club should, always, show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others.

In order to assist us it is important to set some ground rules with regards to what is acceptable behaviour and what is unacceptable behaviour, whether it is on or off the field. The essential elements of character- building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and these core principles:

• RESPECT– Show respect for both your own teammates and your opposition as well as the referees, treat everyone as you would expect to be treated.

• COMMITTMENT – Give your very best both at training and during the game, play hard but fair.

• POSITIVE ACTIONS – Both from the side-line and on the field use only positive talk towards your team as well as the opposition.

• LEAD BY EXAMPLE – Set the standard both on and off the field observing the standards set by the Mount club and its members.

• HAVE FUN – Remember we are all here for the love of sport, it is just a game to be enjoyed by all both players and supporters.
