Club Rules

·         ALL coaches must hold a valid BARLA qualification card OR have forwarded, via the Club Secretary, an application form and payment to attend a course. This is to ensure we fulfil insurance criteria.

·         Coaches are to pay half of the cost of coaching courses attended, upfront with their application to the Club. The remainder will be paid by the Club. Each coaches’ contribution will be refunded following a seasons’ coaching.

·         ALL players are to pay a signing on fee to the Club towards the Clubs costs for provision of playing services – ie registrations, league/cup fees, and insurances. The amount of which will be determined at each yearly AGM for the forthcoming season. Players ID cards will not be given to the respective coaches until this signing on fee has been paid to the Club.

·         Weekly subs payments are payable for each player for each game played. The amount of these payments will be agreed at the AGM.  Subs are not payable for non-League fixtures – ie festivals/tournaments.

·         NO transfer forms will be signed by the authorised signatories until all Club equipment and outstanding monies have been received. Coaches MUST advise if they have any items outstanding. This equipment includes any shields that may have been awarded for a major award winner at the Clubs’ presentations.

·         Should a player wish to leave the Club then he/she MUST put this in writing to the Club so we can “de-register” the player and to ensure the coaches are able to plan for match/training sessions.

·         ALL players details are to be held on a database by the Club Secretary.

·         All parents, where willing, are to sign a website authority form so we may display team photos. This form will also ask for permission for general photography. Should the request be denied by any parent this too MUST be received in writing.

·         It will be at each coaches discretion as to whether kit will  be distributed to players or a kit wash rota be put in force. However ALL parents MUST sign a disclaimer for all kit distributed to ensure the Club will be re-imbursed for lost/mislaid items.

·         Coaches are to ensure team sheets, copy team sheets and referee assessment forms are provided to the Club Secretary within 24 hours of each game played to ensure they can be forwarded to the relevant playing League within the specified timescales.

·         The Fixture and Club Secretaries will receive a quarterly contribution towards their phone bill costs. This amount is to be determined by the General Committee.

·         The Club Secretary will be re-imbursed following the provision of receipts, for stamps, envelopes, paper, printer ink etc.

·         A player must have played a minimum of 5 games for the Club to be eligible to receive any end of season award.

·         ALL key members and coaches details are to be held on our own and BARLA/RFL websites.
