DIS Sports Code of Conduct

Players Code of Conduct

Play by the rules.
Never argue with an official. If you disagree, have your captain or coach approach the official during a break or after the competition.
Control your temper. Verbal abuse of officials, other players or spectators is never acceptable. Deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent are not tolerable or permitted behaviors in any sport.
Work equally hard for yourself and/or your team. Your team’s performance will benefit and so will you.
Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether they are made by your team or the opposition.
Treat all participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of another competitor.
Cooperate with your coach, teammates and opponents. Without them there would be no competition.
