***Referees Required***

Having an adequate number of referees ensures that our club can host both our mini mods and international

age group rugby league matches within our region. Any parents, players or supporters who wish to help out

their club and become a referee or touch judge must have already turned 13 years of age to enrol for an

upcoming course. All referees are paid for their time so why not make season 2019 the year to get actively

involved in helping out Gympie Junior Rugby League.

PLAYER BEHAVIOUR

SCHOOL SUSPENSIONS

As of 2015 Gympie Junior Rugby League implemented a policy which will continue this season. GJRL will follow on with schools’ suspensions.

He/she will also be suspended from playing club football for the same period of time.

The player will however still have to fulfil their obligation to his/her team by attending training and games during the suspension period.

Coaches will be responsible of notifying the committee.

Any child over 12 years old is to sign medical form to acknowledge suspension rule.

Player Behaviour

2019 will see a new club policy regarding player behaviour. Anyone who receives three warnings regarding his or her behaviour will

result in no game.

Canteen

This season will see an introduction to a rostering system for the canteen for all teams/parents to participate in. It will be mandatory for all teams

to provide volunteers for the canteen. Mini Mod parents will be required on a Friday night, Internationals at

home games on Saturday’s or Friday nights if the teams are playing.

This roster will allow you to still watch your child play football and be for a very minimal time.

Team managers will be liaising with parents regarding times and dates etc.
