CODE OF CONDUCT

The Souths Juniors Code of Conduct is enforceable under all Junior League matches. Parents, supporters, coaches, managers, trainers and players are required to act in a reasonable and responsible manner. This includes comments to referees, opposing players and supporters.

The Code requires proper behaviour and sportsmanship. This Club requires the guidelines of the Code of Conduct to be enforced and takes a Zero tolerance to breaches.

For a copy of the code please pick up a handout from the club house or download it from the Souths

Juniors web site http://southsjuniors.leaguenet.com.au

GRADINGS PROCESSS

Team gradings will all be based on each child’s ability and the final decision will rest with the coaching team and the Committee. For the first few weeks of training, the coaching team will be assessing each player. This means some age groups will stay together for the first few weeks of training. It is important that these gradings are finalised before the official trial games however the trial results will determine the final grading in each division. At all times our aim is to be realistic and fair and to ensure children with like ability are teamed together. Parents and coaching will need to actively support this process with the kids to ensure there this process is handled without issue.

In some grades such as the 6’s club games will be held on Tuesdays in the 3rd and 4th weeks to support this process. These games will be refereed.

If there are any issues with the grading process please engage an official to support.

2011 SEASON DRAW

The 2011 is now available and the current draw is attached. Please note that this draw is updated regularly so please keep up to date with the most current versions on the South Juniors web site http://southsjuniors.leaguenet.com.au

CANTEEN ROSTER Support is needed from parents and family to help out in the canteen at Pioneer Park. The profits from the canteen go part way to paying for game day drinks for our kids so please give your support generously. A canteen roster for this year will be emailed out before the first competition game. Each team will be scheduled only once for the duration of the season. Managers: please liaise with your parents to ensure that you have 4 parents allocated to the canteen on your rostered day. If each team can split their 4 parents into two groups to do 2 to 3 hours either

http://southsjuniors.leaguenet.com.au/http://southsjuniors.leaguenet.com.au/

prior or after their teams scheduled game. It is not expected that parents are in the canteen while their kids game is on. Prices lists are located at the counter and there will be a canteen representative on hand (Phil, Tony or Brett) to support. Remember the people who permanently staff the canteen are volunteers. Thanks for your assistance. Kids will not be allowed into the canteen area for safety reasons and don't eat more than you serve.

MATCH DAY UNIFORMS ALLOCATION

The match day uniforms (jumpers, shorts and socks) arrive the week before the 1st competition game. Team packs will be pre packed and Managers and Coaches will be asked to pick them up from the club house.

There is no need to submit size requirements for your team as orders were placed with Souths Juniors in October last year. On allocation any sizing issues can be addressed on an age basis between individual team managers and the Age Team Managers e.g. each under 7’s team will receive an allocation and team managers can exchange sizes to ensure the best fits for players.

Any teams that require additional team uniforms after the allocations e.g. jerseys, shorts or socks can contact Secretary Chris Doyle a call on 0416 011 899 or email justin.doyle@qbe.com

Note: Each uniform pack costs the club $100 if a player doesn’t play 5 competition games. Managers are responsible for seeking a return of the uniform packs for players who do not meet this requirement. These packs will then need to be returned to the club.

SOUTH EASTERN CLUB SOCIAL FUNCTION The Club Social Function will be held some time in June and is our only club fundraiser for the year. For this reason we ask that all parents support this event. The event is open to mothers, fathers, extended family and friends are all welcome to attend. Further details and a promotional flyer will be made available closer to the date.

To support this event each team manager will be allocated 5 tickets well before the event to sell through their team networks. Anyone interested in sponsoring the day, supplying promotional products or simply wish to make a booking can call club Treasurer Tony Whiteley on 0434 058 492.

We have maintained the cost this year to $20 per child or $30 per family.

Team membership fees will be collected by each team manager once the teams are finalised.

LIABILITY AND RISK 

Rugby League is a body contact sport which carries a risk of personal injury. The League (herein defined to include the Australian Rugby League, the State Leagues and the League in which the Player participates), and the Player’s Club; each take steps to reduce the risk of serious injury, but it is not possible to eliminate risk in a sport involving forceful body contact. By signing this registration form, the player and his parent/guardian voluntarily assume the risks associated with participating in this sport; and acknowledge this warning of the injury risks involved.

Whilst some limited statutory insurance cover is available in some States for some participants in the sport who suffer particular injuries, the Civil Liability Act in each State (“the Act”), limits the liability of the League, the Clubs and their employees and officials from civil litigation arising out of injuries suffered whilst playing, or training for, rugby league.

The League is required by the Act to warn persons playing and involved in the game, and their parents and relatives, of the not insignificant risks of injury involved in the sport, which the League hereby does.

INDEMNITY AND COMPLIANCE

It is a condition of membership and/or registration with the League that the Player and/or his parent or guardian acknowledges:-

1. That membership and/or registration is conditional on continued observance of and compliance by the Player with the provisions of the Rules of the Game, the ARL Policies referred to on the front page hereof;

the Constitution, and the Competition Rules of the League in which the Player participates (together,“the Rules”).

2. That the Player will accept the decisions and directions of the League and its committees made in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and the League Constitution

3. That the Player will not during the currency of his membership and/or registration or at any time thereafter, should he cease to be a member/registered, make any claim against the League or the Player’s Club for damages in negligence or contract related to any alleged act or omission of the League, the Player’s Club, the Referee’s Association or any of their members, officials or employees, for injury arising out of any game or training program under the control or supervision of the Player’s League or the Player’s Club;

4. That in the event of any person commencing any proceedings against the Player for any assault, breach of the Rules, or negligence; causing injury, the Player hereby indemnifies: the League, the Club, the Referee’s Association; and any of their officials and employees against any order of the Court including any award for damages, legal costs and disbursements which may be awarded or ordered against any of them.

5. That the indemnity and waiver herein may be pleaded in bar to any such proceedings aforesaid.

6. If the Player shall suffer any injury including death whilst engaged in training or playing the game of rugby league and a cause of injury was the negligence, trespass, assault or a breach of other obligations imposed by laws or any of their persons or bodies named in the Rules, then the liability of the League (including its volunteers, officials and employees) is limited to the extent of any insurance policy held by the League or Club; and the amount which such insurer is liable to pay under the policy, and/or the amount of insurance payable by any applicable statutory insurance schemes.

7. The Player agrees that this limitation of liability applies even if he ceases to be a member of the League or Club.
