Rules and Regulations:
Rugby is a game that relies on respect; for yourself, your teammates, your opponents, and the referees and spectators, whether they are volunteer or captive. Our desire is to be the perfect host, please respect that by being model guests.
Your support is sincerely appreciated.
Although NPRFC has invested a lot of money and effort into the development of our fields, we still rely on good relations with our neighbors to continue the privilege of using the facilities that border their property. It was only with their approval and support that we were allowed to develop our own facility. This relationship is essentially quid pro quo; we agree to respect their right to not be exposed to unacceptable behavior, and they respect our desire to play this great and glorious game called Rugby. There were a number of concerns that were expressed at the beginning of the relationship, which we agreed to respect. These include, but are not limited to the following:
NO drinking of alcoholic beverages around the playing area.
There is a pavilion on the Legion property where drinking is permitted for our guests, but alcoholic drinks are NOT allowed around the playing area.
No litter left around the playing area.
There are dumpsters and trash cans provided, please use them or take your trash home.
Language:
Rugby is, by tradition, a sport where spouses and children are welcomed. Nobody wants to hear foul language, least of all the neighbors who have no choice about where they spend their afternoons. Referees are being strongly encouraged to not tolerate such language, and penalties may be applied if it persists.
NO URINATING IN PUBLIC! The American Legion hospitably provides the use of its men’s and women’s restrooms for our guests. In addition, portable toilets are also provided. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for urinating on the field or anywhere in public. It is both illegal and offensive. The neighbors have called the police in the past and will not hesitate to do so again!
To those of you who find the above unacceptable, we respectfully request that you stay away, or better still, go and play a sport where such behavior is tolerated. Please do not let this great sport down by failing to show the due respect.
