Chairmans Welcome

Dear Guest,

Welcome to season 2011 / 2012 and the 16th for West Tynedale Junior Rugby Club.

Rugby Union has captivated the minds of both children, and adults, with the success of our England International team. The 2007 squad of course included no less than four local heroes from Newcastle Falcons. Jonny Wilkinson, Toby Flood, Mathew Tait and Jamie Noon assisting a formidable line up as backs. The 2011 World Cup starts on 9 September and rugby will once again be thrust into the limelight. As a club we should develop, and focus, our children’s energy, and enthusiasm for rugby towards the future and benefit of our local, national and international squads. Our youngsters are our sporting future, not just boys, but girls as womens rugby continues to grow and grow.

This is my fourth season as club chairman, I am looking forward to the coming year. Rugby is a sport for everyone to enjoy at all levels. Children of any ability, both boys and girls are welcome to join and develop their skills. Above all have fun taking part. Having an interest or, even just curiosity is enough to get started.

Last season saw our membership grow once more, which I believe is an enormous tribute to all the hard work put into our club at every level of involvement, from coaching, to organising, to catering, and parents bringing their children here every week. No one is left out! We are a team. Our club relies heavily on your continued support and good will.

Finally, to you our many sponsors, an enormous thank you from myself and West Tynedale Junior Rugby Club. The continued success of our club would not be possible without your incredible loyalty and support.

Enjoy the season

Colin Stewart

Code of Conduct

An important message for all Players, Coaches and Parents - Please read these
guidelines and remind everyone of their importance.

Players

A good player is a self-disciplined person - stay in control of yourself always.
Accept the referee's decision and never argue with him.
Work hard on your own game and learn to co-operate with other members of your
team.
Respect the opposition and applaud them warmly and genuinely.
Play for the fun of competing - not just to please others.

Coaches

Children join rugby clubs to play, but they must also be taught the skills of the game
to play well. Now, more than ever their education is in your hands.
Be prepared to attend Coaching Award courses.
Remember that the laws of the game mean less, than a long established accepted
spirit in which the game is played and supported.
Use gentle progressions to ensure safety.
Remember that without a referee you cannot have a game, so make him welcome
and respect his decisions.
Condemn any sort of violence or practice against the laws.
Be positive! Don't criticise. Encourage from the touchline, but don't resort to
harassment or unseemly language.
Please always take the view that the game is played for enjoyment. Encourage the
youngsters to enjoy it themselves by positive coaching and well-planned sessions
and when competing to WIN WITH MODESTY AND LOSE WITH DIGNITY.

Parents

Accept the referee's decision - without him you cannot have a game.
Any form of violence or practice against the laws is not to be encouraged, especially
by shouts from the touchline.
Applaud ALL goodplay - not just your own team's.
Respect the opposition and all authority figures.
Remember that youngsters are not there primarily to entertain you or to meet your
expectations.
Be positive! Give encouragement not criticism.
Please remember the game is played for enjoyment. Encourage the children to
enjoy themselves, to win with modesty and lose with dignity.
Never use unseemly language.
