5.0 CODE OF CONDUCT

We are committed to creating a positive and supportive environment for all players, coaches, officials, and spectators. Everyone is expected to treat officials, event staff, opponents, teammates, and spectators with respect. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.

The coaching staff is responsible for the conduct of their entire team, including spectators.

Spectators are prohibited from approaching, confronting, or addressing any athlete who is not their own child before, during, or after games. Any concerns regarding players, teams, or game-related matters must be directed to the team’s coach or league representatives. Failure to comply may result in removal from the facility and referral to the Review Board.

Spectator Conduct Process

  • Spectators may be removed for unsportsmanlike conduct at the discretion of league conveners and officials.
  • If there are concerns regarding a spectator’s behaviour, the coach may be asked to speak with the spectator and issue a warning.
  • If the behaviour continues, or if the coach declines to assist, the spectator may be required to leave the facility.
  • Failure of the spectator to comply may result in a forfeit being assessed to that team.

Any coach or spectator removed from the facility may be referred to the Review Board for further action.

***NEW*** Basketball Ontario Network (BON) Review Board: serves as our disciplinary committee, responsible for reviewing serious incidents, disputes, or conduct issues. The board has the authority to determine appropriate sanctions to ensure fairness, accountability, and a safe playing environment.

5.1 ZERO TOLERANCE: FIGHTING & EJECTIONS

If a referee or Coalition staff determines that you instigated a fight, you will receive an automatic three-game suspension. A second offense, where you are deemed the instigator, will result in removal from the league.

If a player or coach is ejected from a game, they will receive an automatic one-game suspension. A second ejection will result in a three-game suspension. A third ejection is removal from the league.

Fights involving coaches, players, or parents/spectators are automatically referred to the review board, and any disciplinary action is at their discretion.
