Sportsmanship
Our rugby team will represent KES in a respectful and professional
manner. We will respect ourselves, our school, our sport, and our
opponents by:
- demanding the best from ourselves;
- respecting school rules and traditions;
- understanding and obeying the Laws of Rugby;
- using superior strength, speed, skill, and decision-making to
decide the outcome of games.
No player, including a captain, will be permitted to speak with the
opponent during a match. “Trash talk” is a violation of the Laws of
the Game and only serves to motivate our opponents, while distracting
us from our team’s objectives.
After the match, our team will applaud the efforts of our competitors;
form the traditional tunnel; and congratulate each player and coach.
In addition, our captains will thank the referee for his or her
efforts.
The singing of the KES Rugby Song will be left to the discretion of
the Captains and senior players and should occur after the traditional
tunnel is completed.
