NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 6th May - 7.30pm - Please check with club first
Rugby League is a very competetive and physical game, when played properly there is no finer sport in the world, however in recent times at Junior level the game is being spoiled by spectators and sometimes coaches becoming too emotional and verbally abusing Officials and the young players.
Soccer has the same problem and it is perhaps a sign of the times, we all need to remind ourselves why children play sport, they want to enjoy it! Without the win at all costs mentality that is blighting our game and putting young players
under pressure. If you are a Junior Coach remember your responsibilites, you should be trying to improve your players and as a result of that your team and its performances will improve, do not dispute decisions set an example to the players, as a spectator or Parent encourage your team and praise good play from both teams.
Children are not highly payed highly trained proffessionals, they simply want to learn the game and above all enjoy playing, it is impossible to do either when Adults on the touchline are shouting abuse and displaying aggressive behaviour, our demise at International sport is down to too much pressure to win, win, win at Junior level.
Allow the players to practice their skills and make the odd mistake they will be better for it and who knows we might one day have players with the skills to match the best at top level.
Enjoy your Rugby League
