After taking the pledge to encourage respect by club members on and off the field during the NSW Rugby League (NSWRL) Respect Round, Grenfell Junior Rugby League has been ranked fourth in the state.
Grenfell Junior Rugby League Club's Phoebe Bateman said they took part in the respect round to encourage positive and respectful behaviour and culture within the club and community,
Ms Bateman said the NSWRL Respect round looks at working with children check compliance, codes of conduct breaches, and encourages the clubs to submit a pledge and have positive language and respectful conduct on and off the field.
Grenfell was ranked as fourth in the state, which was a shock for the Club, Ms Bateman said, though they were quite proud of the results.
NSWRL’s annual Respect Round was a month-long campaign starting on 12-13 April with this year’s theme focusing on ‘Words Have Power’ to remind all players, coaches, volunteers, and spectators of the importance of a supportive Rugby League environment.
