Bay of Plenty Rugby has launched a new attack at abuse from the sidelines.
The organisation has created a website where people can report bad behaviour as well as read what is acceptable, and not.
Bay of Plenty Rugby stated it aimed to create a "Positive Rugby Environment" at all levels of the game, for all participants whether they be a player, coach, referee, administrator or spectator.
The initiative has come on the heels of the organisation's 2015-2017 Strategic Plan, which requires it to strengthen the community game by the retention and attraction of players, coaches and referees.
''... In order to do that we all must ensure that we provide a positive rugby environment for that growth to take place,'' Bay of Plenty Rugby stated.
