CONDUCT

Students are firstly governed by their own school’s code of conduct, students should then follow the guidelines set out in this SGIS Sports Handbook. Lastly, students are also expected to follow any expectations expected from the Competition Organiser.

Appropriate behaviour is expected at all times during the competition, even when students are not competing.

The SGIS Sports Competition Organiser has the final authority over all tournament decisions, including the right to dismiss a player, coach or spectator from the area of play for any inappropriate behaviour.

Disputes should be resolved by a small committee composed of the Competition Organiser and two uninvolved coaches.

Any appeal resulting from an SGIS Sports Competition must be submitted in writing within one week of the competition finishing. The appeal should be sent to both the competition organiser and the Chair of the SGIS Sports Executive Committee.

Students are not permitted to smoke, drink alcohol or use drugs at any SGIS organised competition and at no time during tournaments, tri or dual meets, including the venue, changing rooms, or cafeteria/restaurant even if the students is of legal age to smoke or drink alcohol. This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in Home or Away situations.

All participants and spectators must respect buildings and equipment used during SGIS competitions, including the proper disposal of litter.

Coaches, chaperones and spectators are expected to be good role models throughout the entire tournament. Any adult unable to be respectful to others at the tournament (other coaches, referees, spectators) may be asked to vacate the tournament by the competition host. Further sanctions could be forthcoming if the competition hosts deem if necessary.
