Fraser Valley Tournament Protocols

The following protocols have been approved and will be implemented during all Fraser Valley Tournaments. Tournament hosts are to ensure that all coaches, players and officials are aware of the following: 

Rules	Unless stated, CVA rules apply
Jewellery	All visible jewellery is to be removed or taped
Uniforms	Uniform tops are to be numbered front and back, and shall be of the same color and design. Shorts are to have the same appearance, but may have some insignificant minor differences (eg. different logo)
Ribbons & Headwear	Players may wear multi-coloured hair ribbons. Bandanas can be worn but they cannot be offensive in nature and must be identical for all players who wear them
Warmups	Warm-up for all the matches will be a minimum of 5-5. Warm-ups will not be shortened if the tournament is behind schedule.
Rosters	Up to 15 players registered with BC School Sports be allowed to play in each match at Fraser Valley Championships.
Substitutions	Substitutions for all matches are 12 plus a libero. Libero can be a different player for each game.
Timeouts	Time-outs are 1 minute in duration. Teams can return onto the court at anytime during the time-out period. That is, teams are not required to wait for the other team to return.
Spectator Behaviour	In the event of inappropriate behaviour by spectators, players or coaches are to instruct their captain to approach the head referee. Head referee, with support from the tournament coordinator and gym supervisor, is to address and correct the concerns. Concerns such as unacceptable language, noises directed to a player at the time of serving, throwing objects on the floor are unacceptable.
Coach in Attendance	Each team must have a coach in attendance at the start of each match.  The match cannot start without an adult coach in attendance.  There is no need for a community coach to have a teacher sponsor on the bench.  It is assumed that the principal (of the school in question) has approved the community coach for this purpose.
