OUR VALUES
Whilst our classes are ridiculously good fun for children we also work very hard to teach children the core values of Rugby. Taken and adapted from England Rugby’s very own value system we follow our own 6 core values:
Determination
Determination is the essence of increasing our chances of being successful in a particular thing or achieving a particular goal, and it can also help us stay motivated and continue striving towards the one thing we want to achieve. When we want to do something we don’t allow any difficulties to stop us achieving it and we work hard towards our goals.
Courage
Courage is challenging or facing and dealing with anything we recognise as scary or intimidating, instead of withdrawing from it. Having courage helps us overcome our fears and become brave to face our challenges. We try and embrace new experiences.
Respect
Respect is caring enough to consider how our words and actions impact others. Having respect is when you feel good about someone because of how they act. Showing respect is when you care how your actions impact others. We treat other people kindly and use kind words even when we’re upset. We show manners like sharing, waiting our turn, saying please and thank you. We are careful not to damage places or things or cause any harm to others.
Teamwork
Teamwork means working together and getting along with other people so that we can all get to a shared end goal. Teamwork is also much more than just getting along with people. Teamwork is working respectfully and effectively with a group and doing our fair share. The key to being a good team player is the ability to put a group’s needs above our own.
Discipline
Discipline is controlling our behaviour so that we can obey and follow the correct rules. We have the ability to avoid any behaviour that could lead to negative consequences. We are patient, wait our turn and allow others the right to speak and enjoy themselves.
Fun
Every Rugby Stars class is a fun, learning experience for children. Our coaches work hard to bring enthusiasm, passion and energy to every class and our classes are always focussed on fun-first, enjoyment and learning (in that order). We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we like to have a laugh, be silly and smile every session.
