Club and Schools should encourage spectators to:
(a) Act as positive role models to all players.
(b) Be familiar with, and abide by, the RFU Child Protection Guidelines in relation to verbal and emotional abuse.
(c) Respect guidance from the Club or School with regard to spectator behaviour.
(d) Remember children play sport primarily for their own enjoyment, not for that of 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 be 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. (f) Encourage all players irrespective of their ability - never ridicule any individual player, regardless of the team in which they play.
(j) Spectators should remain off the field of play, unless asked to come forward by the referee or coach.
