📣 Positive Sideline Behaviour 📣

Positive sidelines help create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where all players can learn, grow, and enjoy rugby.

Cheer for effort, encourage teamwork, show respect to referees, coaches, volunteers, and opposing teams, and let the players play and the coaches coach.

By being positive role models, we help build confidence, sportsmanship, and a lifelong love of the game for our tamariki.

Positive sidelines create positive players 🏉

🔥 What a fantastic day of junior rugby! 🔥

A huge thank you to all our U7s, U9s and U11s players, coaches, managers, referees, volunteers, and whānau who made today such a success. Our tamariki showed great sportsmanship, teamwork, courage, and determination throughout the day.

We’re incredibly proud of the effort and heart shown by every player who took the field.

See you all next weekend ready to go again.
