Datchworth RFC maintains a number of codes of conduct for our members to communicate the expectations that we have for the different roles we all occupy within the club. These are currently documented for:

• Players
• Parents & Carers
• Club Officials & Volunteers

We also have documented some guides to provide more detail around specific areas we want to emphasise "good' standards. These are around our relationship with the village and its residents, dealing with youngsters and coaching.

Over all of this we have the RFU's Code of rugby that applies to all members, players and volunteers within Datchworth RFC and sits above all club codes of conduct.

CODE OF RUGBY

In addition to the requirements, directions and advice contained in the code of conduct, everyone has a duty to uphold the sport's core values

Teamwork - Discipline - Respect - Sportsmanship - Enjoyment

• Play to win - but not at all costs.
• Win with dignity, lose with grace.
• Observe the laws and regulations of the game.
• Respect opponents, referees and all participants
• Reject cheating, racism, violence and drugs.
• Value volunteers and paid officials alike.
• Enjoy the game!
