Follow the advice of a physician and/or sports trainer to the letter when determining when an injured player is ready to recommence training or playing. »» Teach players that an honest effort and competing to the best of their ability is as important as victory. »» Maintain appropriate, professional relationships with players at all times. »» Maintain a thorough knowledge of the Laws of the Game and keep abreast of current coaching methods; maintain or improve your current accreditation level. »» Always consider the health, safety and welfare of the players. »» Teach young players to realise that there is a big gap between their play and the professional game; do not coach them as if they are professionals. »» Ensure that your coaching reflects the level of the competition being played; do not be a “win-at-all-cost” coach. »» As coach, conduct yourself at all times in a manner, and in all situations, that shows leadership, respect for the game of Rugby League and respect for all those that are involved in the game – the players, officials, the fans, the parents, the referees and the media.
Remember that junior players participate for pleasure and mateship. Your coaching should create a positive environment that is
fun, safe, and inclusive
ENDORSEMENT Coaching at any level of the game is a huge responsibility, but also an immensely rewarding one! It can be challenging and time-consuming, but the pleasure that comes from contributing to players’ skill and social development far outweigh any barriers. It is important that, as coaches, we actively demonstrate the key beliefs of our game – courage, inclusiveness, excellence and teamwork. By being a positive leader, you have the capacity to shape lives, to mould young minds, and to provide opportunity for success and enjoyment – both on and off the footy field. Win or lose, our jobs as coaches is to always promote sportsmanship, respect, fun, and to lead by example. Enjoy your coaching experience! Best wishes!

Referees are the key to the successful application of the Safeplay Code (up to and including 15 years) in Junior Rugby League
ENDORSEMENTS Match Officials play an integral role in our great game. Just as we look to support our young players through their Rugby League journey, we need to be as supportive of our Referees. Learning the Laws of the Game and how to implement them in a practical manner whilst communicating with, and managing players is no easy task! It takes a lot of courage to be a Referee, so please respect their role, just as they will respect the role that players, coaches and officials play. Remember - Without Referees, we don’t have a game!
Kasey Badger Referee
Like players and coaches, Match Officials play a vital role in the establishment of a safe, friendly and conflict-free environment on the field. Your actions must be beyond reproach, maintaining the integrity of the Laws, the game, and yourself. By demonstrating a positive attitude and promoting good sporting behaviour, referees are an integral part of every match played across the country. All match officials have a responsibility to apply their thorough knowledge of the Laws consistently, and to communicate with players in a fair and measured manner.
