At Finchley RFC, we are proud to uphold the values of rugby: Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship. These values underpin the Rugby Football Union (RFU) Codes of Conduct and apply to everyone involved in the game.

What is the RFU Code of Conduct?
The RFU Code of Conduct sets out the standards of behaviour expected from players, coaches, club members, volunteers, parents and spectators. Its purpose is to ensure rugby is played and enjoyed in a safe, inclusive and respectful environment.
