Code of Behaviour
The BDS has adopted the Code of Behaviour for players, parents, spectators, coaches and media as developed by the S.S.V. Any breaches of the 'Code of Behaviour' should be clearly identified and communicated to the supervising teacher as soon as possible and passed on to the District Coordinator
Breach of Code by students, staff, spectators etc..
* SSV rule: - teams / individuals not abiding by the Code of Behaviou may be suspended or disqualified for breaches of the Code of Behaviour, after consultation with District Coordinator.
* Weekly Sport - A detailed explanation of the breach of the code must be emailed to the District Coordinator within 24hrs. The District Coordinator will record and collate all breaches of the code. Initial breach of the code would generally require a verbal warning from the supervising teacher / adult.
Repeated breaches of the code warrant the student / team being suspended. A serious offence may warrant immediate removal from the game and or suspension from the subsequent match / matches.
* It is expected that the school connected to the student / person who breached the 'Code' will deal promptly and consistently in accordance with their discipline policy, and in a manner that will ensure there is no further breaches of the 'Code'.
* It may be necessary for the BDS to become involved in disciplinary action if there is a concern that action has not been taken at a school level or there appears to be a pattern of repeated incidences that interfere with the enjoyment or safety of others.
Suggested school sport discipline model - 'Strike system'
Strike one: Warning - i.e. Discussion, debrief, apologize etc..
Strike two: Temporary suspension from Sport. i.e. Travel to venue - does not participate.
Strike three: Suspended from Sport. i.e. Does not travel to venue. Parent contacted.
Protests
Any protests or queries must be lodged immediately, before the conclusion of the activity and information emailed to the District Coordinator as soon as possible, within 24 hours.
