SABL Coach/Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct
With regard to players: I will endeavor to be a positive role model for SABL players. • I believe that the score of a game comes second to the safety and welfare of all SABL players. • I will endeavor to put winning in its proper perspective. • I will teach my player to understand and play within the letter and spirit of the rules of the SABL. • I will not post anything to any social media account that is detrimental to an opposing team’s player.
With regard to opposing teams: I will not coach, nor allow my players to play, with intent to cause injury to opposing players. • I will not display hostile behavior towards opposing players. • I will emphasize winning without boasting and losing without bitterness. • I will not post anything to any social media account that is detrimental to an opposing team.
With regard to Referees & Coaches: • I believe that referees and coaches, just as players, are attempting to do their best and I will instill in my player a respect for that fact. • I understand that my attitude can influence SABL players and other spectators, and I will display a controlled and undemonstrative attitude toward referees and coaches at all times. • I will not address a referee or coach before, during or after the game in a demeaning fashion. • I will not post anything to any social media account that is detrimental to a referee or coach.
Parents/players are responsible for their conduct and the conduct of their player. Verbal and/or physical abuse will not be tolerated. If a player’s conduct is not in the spirit of basketball, the referee can have the player leave the game for a cooling off period. The same conduct rule applies to spectators. If the cooling off period does not resolve the problem, the spectator may be asked to leave the gymnasium. If a parent approaches a referee or steps on to the court to challenge a call, they will be asked to leave the game and the incident will be reviewed.
Violators of the Code of Conduct will be disciplined as follows: 1st offense results in a 1 game suspension; 2nd offense results in a 3 game suspension and a meeting with SAGBL Board; and the 3rd offense results in suspension from the SABL indefinitely. NOTE: SABL is empowered to skip directly to the third step if an incident is deemed sufficiently serious, for example, the striking of a child.
