Parents Page
This page is designed to provide pertinent information about rugby and our club to the parents of our players
Introduction
Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.
Health & Safety
At the Doylestown JR RFC the heath and safety of our players is a primary concern. Although we believe rugby can be played in a safe and fun environment, it is a contact sport and we do want to work together with players and parents to minimize injuries and lasting effects of injuries. First thing we ask of all players and parents is to report any injuries to their coach, regardless of severity or where there they occurred.
- Injuries
- Concussion: Here is a link for a fact sheet on concussions from the CDC including symptoms of a concussion that parents can observe. Please download and review - Download
- Returning to Play - We will work with parents and there medical professionals to determine when a player can return to play following an injury
- Trainers: We will attempt to have an experienced athletic trainer at all our home matches.
