Classes will centre on the players conduct and social engagement.

Ulster Rugby has confirmed it's introducing behavioral classes for professional players and those in its academy.
The classes will include a section by the Women's Aid charity on sexual consent.
A number of officials will also be trained as 'social guardians' to address any concerns players may have off the field.
The move comes in the wake of a rape trial earlier this year involving two former Ireland and Ulster rugby stars.
Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding were found not guilty of rape in March but their Ulster contracts were subsequently terminated.
Both players have since moved to France to continue their playing careers there.
