John Constable – President Dorset & Wilts Rugby Football Union PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD Once again I welcome you all to a new Rugby season. Thank you for electing me your President for a third season. After the highs and lows of the Rugby World Cup, last season, it is good to see England performing so well of late, across all levels. Let us hope this brings more players of all ages, male or female, into our game. Once again I look forward to visiting our Member clubs during the coming season. I, along with my colleagues, have always received a warm welcome. It is enjoyable meeting the hard working volunteers in our clubs and being able to provide some support. We thank all those involved. The majority of our clubs and teams have taken on board the RFU Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship. Unfortunately, there have still been instances where Coaches, Parents and Spectators have let the desire to ‘Win at all Costs’ get the better of them. This has led to disciplinary action being taken against the club as a whole. This could result in the whole club being banned from playing for a period of time. I hope, therefore, this season EVERYONE aims to ensure the players, match officials, coaches and those supporting, enjoy the game and are not put off from further involvement in Rugby, as a result of the bad behaviour of a minority. I echo my words from last season, let us all work together to make sure that everyone who wants to play our game, gets a game of rugby. I encourage clubs to talk and assist one another to make ‘playing for all’ our priority If there are any problems, please speak to your League Secretary, or to one of the Competitions’ Administrators. D&W RFU will do its best to provide some help. Lastly, a huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone involved in Rugby within Dorset & Wilts – I wish you all the very best for the 2016-17 season. John Constable

Dates for RUGBY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP (RDP) COMMITTEE MEETINGS (Usually on Wednesday’s) – 12th October 2016 – 11th January 2017 – 5th April 2017
INTEGRATING MILITARY RUGBY PLAYERS INTO CIVILIAN RUGBY CLUBS The Army Rugby Union wishes to see far more British Army personnel (male & female) playing rugby at their local community rugby club. It is in both the Armies’ and local clubs interest that players maximise their availability. However, military personnel do have a few issues that club secretaries and coaches should be aware of. 1. A junior soldier is not the master of his or her own destiny and is at the call of his chain of command for duties, training and other tasks. When an individual is in their first few years in the Army they spend a lot of time training and developing their military skills. This is achieved by attending courses all over the country to learn and necessitates time away from barracks. While most of this is planned, some is quite reactionary and can be at short notice. 2. A soldier spends plenty of time at work doing physical training. They also play sport on a Wednesday afternoon and hence the ability to train with a rugby club in the evenings and play on a Saturday is a huge burden. Some pragmatism should be shown, especially to those playing unit rugby on a Wednesday. 3. Not many junior soldiers have a car and hence transport is an issue for them. They are good at car sharing but lifts to a club are fraught with frictions if the driver is away on a course or on duty. 4. All military personnel are liable for duties in camp. Whether this is guard, driving or other tasks, they all take their share of what is need to maintain the camp as a safe environment. Guard duties are published well in advance but late notice swaps occur. 5. The medical status of a soldier is governed by the Medical Officer (MO) and their Commanding Officer (CO). If the military system says they are not to play then it is an order and they are not to play. They may look outwardly fit but they are not at liberty to ignore an order. 6. Every soldier has a unit rugby officer who coordinates their rugby for the unit; they also make a good point of contact for clubs to understand player availability. 7. Many soldiers live in barracks during the week but travel to their parental or spousal homes at weekends, many of which are many miles from the Army camp. This weekly commuting prevents many players committing to a club as they cannot train and play with the same club. Many outstanding players are simply not accessible to the better clubs in a manner that works and hence we have a surplus of quality players that can play at weekends but can't train; these are an untapped resource. 8. Soldiers will be sent away for extended periods of time. When they do, it would be pragmatic if a club has a mechanism whereby their membership fees are suspended so as not to incur costs that cannot be benefited from. 9. The Army has a series of set physical standards that are tested twice a year in what is called a Personal Fitness Assessment (PFA). This standard is reasonable but is not rugby friendly. It is very hard for a bulky front row forward to pass the running element of this test. In these circumstances a CO may declare that a player is not allowed to play team sports until the 16

mandatory tests are passed. This does not affect their right to play team sports out of work hours, but can impinge upon individuals’ commitments. 10. A junior soldiers evening meal is served at 1630-1715. If they attend club training between 1900-2100 they do not have access to subsidised food post training and would have to eat fast food. Clubs would do well to provide a basic post training meal and hydration. 11. Servicemen and women make excellent rugby players; they bring fitness, robustness and a strong team ethic into a rugby club. They also make excellent administrators or coaches. A little understanding between club and player could only benefit both parties. James Cook – Army Rugby Union

The winners of the Bob Stock Trophy 2016 was Royal Woollen Bassett RFC – Second was Alfred’s Nomads – with North Dorset RFC third.

DISCIPLINARY GUIDANCE Senior sections are responsible for behaviour of their junior and mini sections. Senior members of clubs work hard in the week and on Saturdays. It is not reasonable for them to give up their Sundays as well. Yet, all games played at the club should be monitored. The Club's own Disciplinary Committee should not be reactive but proactive: enrol other cub members to help on a rota basis. Clubs are aware of their potential trouble-makers: and visiting clubs should also have their people to monitor extreme behaviour. If you want guidance - D&W RFU has its advisers to help you Philip Kennedy to help you with Disciplinary matters Dave Wookey - Juniors/Minis Regulations. Player registration of all sorts Dave Harris - Safeguarding, Health & Safety Unless we respond firmly to bad behaviour on the pitch and on the touchline, this problem will get out of control. Clubs must discipline their players, officials and spectators. Referees are quite right to abandon games when behaviour deteriorates. Please remember that clubs and individuals will be called before the disciplinary committee if their conduct brings the game into disrepute. The RFU distributes posters such as the Code of Rugby, to all clubs. These reminders should be on prominent display in Clubhouses. Coaches and others who foment trouble must be banned from the touchline. Clubs will know their potential 'trouble-makers' and might suggest they attend Anger Management courses, if need be. They are unsatisfactory role models to the youngsters under their control. To those clubs which already take a firm stance and deal with these problems D&W thank you. The following notes are intended to help clubs administer discipline but are no substitute for reading the RFU Disciplinary Regulations in full. The RFU disciplinary regulations are set out in Regulation 19 in the RFU Handbook. They are also available online at www.rfu.com/TheGame/Regulations. Recommended Sanctions are set out in Appendix 2 to Regulation 19. The procedures relating to age grade rugby, i.e. Under 18 and schools are set out in Appendix 6 to Regulation 19, which also includes the sanctions. The flow chart for procedures to be used in disciplinary hearings is set out in Appendix 7 to Regulation 19. CLUB PROCEDURE FOLLOWING THE SENDING-OFF OF A PLAYER Every club is required to have a properly constituted Disciplinary Committee that is charged with maintaining the standards of discipline within the club. It is strongly recommended that this committee be pro-active rather than reactive. As stated in paragraph 19.3.1.3 in RFU Regulation 19, in all circumstances Club Secretaries must report to the Chairman or Secretary of the Dorset & Wilts Disciplinary Panel within 48 hours after the match the name, address and contact telephone number of any player who has been ordered 48

off the playing enclosure, including players under the age of 17. Referees are also required to submit a report in the prescribed form. (There are no exceptions to this and it applies equally to Society, to non-society referees and to those who ‘just take up the whistle’.) As set out in paragraph 19.8.3.1 of RFU Regulation 19, the Dorset & Wilts Disciplinary Panel will charge a fee of £70 towards the disciplinary hearing expenses. This fee rises to £100 if there is no representation at the first hearing. These contributions cover the administration costs (including Panel travel), the hiring of rooms and equipment. In addition if a club is subject to a disciplinary hearing then that club must pay the costs incurred. The charge for a citing is £150 and any extra expenses must be paid by the club, not by D&W RFU. Age grade rugby applies to school and youth rugby and representative rugby up to and including U18 teams. Where a player is 17 or over and is playing in an u19, u20 or an adult team (s)he is subject to the RFU regulations, which apply to all adult players as covered in the RFU Discipline Regulations). If a player is sent off or cited in a school match then that player’s head teacher has the responsibility for taking disciplinary action against him or her, under the guidance of the Dorset & Wilts Disciplinary Panel (acting through its Chairman in the absence of a Schools & Youth Disciplinary Secretary). SIMPLIFIED TABLE OF PROCEDURE FOR DISCIPLINARY HEARINGS (INCLUDING U17S/U18S PLAYING AT ADULT LEVEL) The panel should ideally consist of three people. The player must be heard and can be represented. The hearing should be conducted in accordance with the RFU Disciplinary Regulations set out above, adapted as necessary to the circumstances. The referee’s report will be read or details of the conduct alleged will be explained. The person appearing before the panel should be asked whether the allegations are admitted. If they are, the Panel will then hear representations in mitigation before deciding on the sanction or sentence. If the allegations are not admitted, the Panel will hear the evidence in the following sequence: Witnesses supporting the allegation will be heard and cross-examined. The person against whom the allegations are made shall be entitled to give and to call evidence in rebuttal subject, again, to cross-examination. The chairman will then invite all persons other than the members of the Disciplinary Panel to retire whilst the panel considers its decision in private. The panel will decide whether, on the balance of probabilities, they find the case proven They should provide the player with reasons for their findings.
or
not.
The standard of proof in disciplinary cases is the balance of probabilities and not, as in a criminal court, beyond reasonable doubt. 49

The panel usually has no power to impose a fine; but it will charge the administrative fee for the hearing and it may also award reasonable travel costs incurred by witnesses against the player or player’s school or club. The principles of natural justice, as they apply to RFU disciplinary matters, should be applied. The player must be advised of his right to appeal any decision and that (s) he must do this within 14 days of the hearing. Phillip Kennedy Disciplinary Panel Chair COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE D & W RFU Ltd (“the County”) POLICY ON CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS This policy is written in two parts. Part 1 is intended to deal with child safeguarding issues; and here “child” is generally intended to mean someone of 18 years or under or, in the case of disability, someone under 24 years old. Part 2 is intended to deal with the resolution of concerns and complaints about competitions and other County issues. Part 1
CHILD SAFEGUARDING PROCEDURE
This is not intended to replace the RFU’s published Policy for the Safeguarding of Young People in Rugby Union or the RFU Policy Guidelines (which should both be consulted in any event) but it outlines the important courses of action. However, the County would ask you to reflect on whether the behaviour is poor coaching practice, or if it might be dealt with as a breach of the disciplinary codes, before you invoke the following procedure: This procedure can be found on Dorset & Wilts website www.dorsetandwiltsrfu.com Part 2
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE RELATING TO THE RESOLUTION OF OTHER COUNTY ISSUES
It is good to have a procedure for resolving complaints or concerns; as such a system helps the County to identify any underlying weaknesses in practice or in its administration. The County recognises that some complaints may be well-founded but also that everyone can make a mistake. The County expects realism and honesty from all involved. Most complaints about poor practice in coaching or administration can be resolved by a quiet word with the individual concerned. If anyone feels that the complaint should be dealt with more formally, however, this procedure must apply. The objects of this procedure are to ensure that: • Proper concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly; • The County is provided with fair representations by all involved; • The matter is dealt with by the appropriate person; and • The outcome is noted and appropriate redress is provided. Unless they are paid-up Vice Presidents of the County, individuals have no standing to make a complaint themselves and so they must raise any concerns through the Club to which they belong. If the complaint or concern is about a competition that is administered by the County then, where the competition administrator cannot resolve the dispute or objection immediately, a Club must put its concerns in writing and address them to the Secretary for the time-being of the Competitions Committee, whose contact details may be found both in the County Handbook and on the County Website: www.rfu.com/clubs/dw If the problem relates to a match then it must be received no 50
For further information visit www.dorsetandwiltsrfu.com
later than 4 days after the match concerned. The Competitions Committee shall have absolute discretion to resolve any such disputes or objections as it shall think fit; and its decision shall be final and binding on all parties. Every other complaint from a Club should come from its Secretary, must be set out in writing, must give the facts and events in a concise manner and identify any documents or other evidence. It must be addressed to the Hon General Secretary for the time-being of the County, who will: Check that the author has the standing to complain, Decide whether there is a cause for concern If so, enter it in a central register; and Appoint someone to investigate and report The address for the Hon General Secretary is: Mr N Dark 18 Killbrock Mead Willowbrook Devizes SN10 2FU The Hon General Secretary may not necessarily deal with the complaint himself: he may well refer it to another senior officer of the County, whom he feels has the requisite knowledge or experience to investigate it. Once you have been notified of the outcome of the complaint, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may ask the Hon General Secretary to refer the matter to the County President, who will decide what should happen next. The County would expect this procedure to have been observed and followed through before anyone contacts the RFU at Twickenham about a concern or complaint. This policy will be reviewed periodically by the Dorset and Wilts RFU Council. MINI & YOUTH RUGBY POLICY Constituent Body policy with respect to Youth and Continuum Rugby (Under 7 to Under 18) including the implementation of RFU policy is vested in the Dorset and Wilts Rugby Development Partnership assisted by the Chair of the Dorset & Wilts Joint Forum for Youth Rugby and the Chair of the Mini & Youth Player Development Sub Committee Chair Mini & Youth Playing (U7-U16) Player Development Sub Committee Nick Elbourne

The system is administered for the RFU by Youth Registrars with each CB overseeing club youth registrars, providing help and training. All clubs must have a Youth Registrar responsible for carrying out this process at Club Level using The GMS Registration Module. The CB Youth Registrar is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate training is given to new registrars or is providing additional training or advice if requested. Although clubs may spread the work among more than 1 person with the Youth Registrar role, we ask that there is one single point of contact per club. That person is responsible for ensuring all registrations for the club are done correctly and timely. It is important that when this role changes in a club, the CB Youth Registrar is aware and will offer advice to the new incumbent. To be eligible to play for the club, every player must be registered on the RFU database – this is a module within GMS that only Registrars have access to. This applies to all Youth Players between the ages of 5 and 19. The only exceptions to Youth Registration are if they only play in senior/adult games i.e. over 17 and do not play in Colts matches. If they are playing both senior and youth rugby, they must be registered in both schemes, i.e. in compliance with adult and youth registration policies. Making a player a club member with a membership scheme of youth player does not register the child as a player. When transferring players already registered to your club, the system will generate a notification form which is sent, automatically via GMS, to the donating club. Ensure all changes of address and school for the player are updated at this point. Once registered the player (and parent) must then be made a club member on GMS. The CB Youth Registrar DORSET & WILTS YOUTH REGISTRAR, DAVID WOOKEY – 07850 625018:
[email protected]. is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate training is given to new registrars or is providing additional training or advice if requested.
APPLICATION TO HOLD FESTIVALS – Regulation 15.9 refers 52
For further information visit www.dorsetandwiltsrfu.com
NB: Only Clubs that hold the RFU accreditation, or are making tangible progress towards achieving it, can host festivals and must be authorised to do so. If in doubt, check with your RDO. Application for permission to organize Festivals must be made in writing (giving at least two months’ notice) to the Constituent Body via the CB Safeguarding Compliance Manager and to include the playing structure of the festival. Players are limited to the maximum number of minutes playing time, as shown in Regulation 15.14.1. Clubs must obtain written team sheets recording the name and date of birth of all players taking part in EACH game for comparison with player registration cards (which must be available for inspection at the event). These squad lists must be retained following the festival by the organising club and must be made available, if required by a Dorset & Wilts RFU Representative or the RDO. Following the conclusion of a festival, the organising club must supply such statistical information in respect of the competition, as required by Dorset & Wilts RFU Youth Rugby Representative or the RDO. Failure to obtain approval is a breach of regulation, which is a disciplinary offence.
TOUR ORGANISATION – Regulation 10 refers A tour is an exciting way to build identity and team spirit. It provides an opportunity for everyone to get to know one another better and to establish effective team and individual development. When planning a tour consider who it is for its aim and purpose. Remember a Mini/Youth Tour is for the benefit of the Children: Adults attending should behave accordingly. Always remember that on tour, you are an ambassador for your club, county, country and the game. ALL tours, incoming or outgoing within the Home Nations, must be detailed within the Youth Fixtures lists as detailed above. Permission to tour is not required for tours in England but applications to tour or host touring sides from outside the jurisdiction of the RFU should be made at least two months in advance to the Hon Gen Secretary of Dorset & Wilts RFU, via the senior club secretary. Senior club secretaries hold ‘Permission to Tour’ application forms or they can be downloaded from http://www.englandrugby.com/governance/game-support/rugby-tours/resources-and-forms/ The club will receive approval to tour, or host the incoming tour, when permission has been granted. No further organisation should be conducted until permission has been granted (i.e. no financial transactions should take place or confirmation of matches, accommodation etc.). Please ensure that this procedure is followed, even if a company is arranging your tour on your behalf. Tours proceeding without approval are a breach of regulation which is a disciplinary offence.
TOURING/ PLAYING OUT OF SEASON – Regulation 11.3 refers Only pre-approved activities will be allowed during the closed season. The Rugby Football Union will only permit Tours in the close season where the playing season in the overseas country concerned differs from that laid down. No other out of season fixture, festival or tour will be permitted in the close season, unless it involves “Pre-Approved Activities” Only. Season: 2016/17 (Youth): 3rd September 2016 to 1st May 2017 inclusive. 53

PLAYING OUT OF AGE GRADE - MINI MIDI & YOUTH PLAYERS (RFU Regulation 15.3 to 15.6 refers) The RFU has stated that the decision to allow a youth to play out of age grade (including U17 at Adult level) lies with the person in the best position to assess all the relevant circumstances, in accordance with the relevant Regulations, and they must obtain permission from the player’s parent, guardian or head teacher. Advice may be sought from CRC, RDO or CB Safeguarding team. CB approval is required for playing DOWN in competitions. FURTHER ADVICE AND GUIDANCE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM DAVID WOOKEY Tel: 07850 625018 –
[email protected] YOUTH STRUCTURED SEASON To view the 2016-17 Dorset & Wilts Youth Structured Season details, please visit our website www.dorsetandwiltsrfu.com The structured season seeks to provide a framework for participants at all levels, at clubs and schools, to develop their involvement in the sport through a balance of development (skill and game) and matches (competitive and friendly) within the RFU Age Grade Competition Review (AGCR) Structure. • The structured season seeks to provide solutions to the following: • Overplaying of players in the 14 to 18 (Junior Rugby) age groups. • Balance between the club/school programme and the CB development programme. • Recognition of the importance of both elite (representative) and community (recreational) rugby within the structured season. • Provision of fixed dates for development days, CB/Regional/Divisional development squads and representative matches. • Opportunities for age group competitions at Club, CB or national level. Under the Age Grade Review (AGR), remember that: Under 7’s to Under 11’s are mixed gender MINI age grades Under 12’s and Under 13’s are Single Gender MIDI age grades, Under 14’s to Under 18’s are JUNIOR Age Grades (although Under 17’s and Under 18’s are often referred to as “Colts”) Female Youth Rugby operates in 3 joint age grades: Under 12’s and 13’s age group – Under 14’s and Under 15’s age group – Under 16’s through to Under 18’s.

DORSET & WILTS RFU YOUTH TEAM SELECTION POLICY Over the last few years Dorset & Wilts RFU has seen the introduction of District teams at U14s and U15s and the formation of the Developing Player Programme (DPP). This, in turn, has led to more occasions where trials have taken place, in order to select players both to the District squads and for the DPP. This has coincided with a marked improvement in the results achieved by the younger County sides. Selection at each of these trials is obviously working with a high degree of success, which is leading to ever-increasing competition for places. This has highlighted the need to raise the
55

awareness of our selection policy and to point out that there is a world of difference between the Districts / County squads on the one hand and the DPP on the other hand. The selection policy of Dorset & Wilts RFU Limited (“Dorset & Wilts.”) is available on the web site. The policy has also been distributed widely to players, clubs, teachers, schools, coaches and administrators. It is the responsibility of all prospective team members and their coaches, parents and teachers to read and make sure they understand the policy and how it operates. If anyone has a specific query in relation to the intended meaning or operation of the policy, they may contact: CHAIR OF SELECTORS Gordon Harding
[email protected]
07854 994765
By way of assistance, the following provides a summary of the intended meaning and operation of the policy. Selection Philosophy. Dorset & Wilts teams will be selected with the following overriding objectives: To achieve a good team performance in representative matches; and/or to identify and prepare players for the transition into elite programs, including (but not restricted to) the School of Rugby and/or the RFU Academy system Eligibility In order to be eligible for County teams, a nomination form must be completed and signed by or on behalf of prospective team members. Each nomination form involves a declaration that prospective team members will be bound by the selection policy and by the appeal process, which is set out as part of the selection policy. Players should also be registered in accordance with RFU the links on the website to the current instructions, to the nomination forms, to the Youth Registration form and to the Consent/Contacts Forms. Independent schools may carry out their own trials first in order to identify candidates for nomination to Dorset & Wilts. Prospective team members must meet the criteria for eligibility published by the RFU as above, both as to age and otherwise, summarised as follows: A player is qualified to represent D & W RFU by residing, or being born, or attending a school or being registered to play rugby for a club in Dorset or Wiltshire. Squad Size Dorset & Wilts can select a squad of up to the published number of players for a particular team to play a representative match, but may also name a number of First Reserves as well. Selection at the Discretion of the Selectors The final squads and team positions and any First Reserves will be awarded at the discretion of the selectors (clause 1 of the policy). Players, coaches, teachers and parents should ensure they understand the way the process of discretionary selection works. Clause 2 sets out specific matters that the selectors may consider in exercising their discretion. Those matters are, as always, not to be regarded as selection criteria as such. They are matters
56

that the selectors may take into consideration, together with other factors or matters not listed that are in the opinion of the selectors relevant to the selection of the team. Announcement of the Team Players, who have not been selected for a team should, whenever possible, be told on the day of the selection event in question. However, in order to allow time for coaches and selectors to give feedback to players who have not been selected, the squad (which may include any discretionary additions to it) might not be announced for up to 72 hours thereafter. Appeal Process The appeal process is set out in clauses 19 to 33 of the selection policy. All players, coaches, teachers and parents should familiarise themselves with the process, including the grounds of appeal. Again, if there are any queries in this regard, please contact the Chair of Coaching or the Chairman of Selectors as set out above. DPP This is as an elite program, separately funded by the RFU and developed in conjunction with Bath Academy. The DPP is designed to identify and support the development of some young players who are perceived to have talent and potential, between the ages of 13 and 15. The programme is the start of a single elite player development structure working solely on the core skills of young players, without subjecting them to the pressures of having to prepare for the next rugby match.
