Night league rules and policies parents/guardians should be aware of:

GYM ACCESS

Coaches, Parents and Players are not to enter any game-designated gymnasium without a V&DABA Gym Supervisor in attendance.

Access to schools is restricted to the gym area only.  No one is to be wandering/loitering in hallways.

No food is permitted in the gym area.  If any liquid is spilled, please ensure it is cleaned up.

Players should be picked up from the gym by a responsible adult immediately following the completion of the game.

If you or your child has lost an item, please check with one of the Gym Supervisors.  At the end of the season, all unclaimed items will be given to charity.

UNIFORMS

All uniform tops must be of the same colour with numbers front and back.

T-shirts, if worn under the top, must all be white.

Compression wear on the upper body must be white.

Tops must be tucked into shorts unless manufactured to be worn outside the shorts.

All shorts must be of the same colour but not necessarily the colour of the top, or black.

Compression wear worn on the lower body must be black.

JEWELLERY / FINGERNAILS

No jewellery may be worn in any game. Taping over jewellery is not allowed and this includes new piercings. This policy will be strictly enforced.  In addition, if fingernails are deemed to be so long as to create a safety issue for other players, the player may be asked to leave the game until the situation is rectified.

SCORE & TIME KEEPING

Every team must supply a scorekeeper or timekeeper before the game can begin.  Parents must step up and volunteer at least 10 minutes prior to the start of the game.  Gym staff will provide assistance to the parents if this is the first time he/she has kept score or operated the clock.  Detailed instructions are also available on our website.

VIDEO RECORDING

Anyone video recording a game using a video camera and tripod must not create a safety issue for players or officials, must set up on the opposite side of team benches, must not create a distraction for players or interfere with the sight line of spectators.  If any parent on either team objects to their child being videotaped and brings it to the attention of a Gym Supervisor, the videotaping must be discontinued.  Generally speaking, since video recording can be a useful analysis tool (especially for older teams) and many spectators also use their cell phones for this purpose, preventing this practice is too difficult to monitor and enforce.   However, a Gym Supervisor will use his or her discretion if any of the aforementioned situations are deemed a concern and to determine if the video recording should be shut down. 

DISCIPLINARY ACTION

V&DABA will not hesitate to suspend any parent, player, coach or spectator who contravenes the league code of conduct.
