EXPECTATIONSAROUNDACCCOMPETITIONWhilst sport is based on competition between individuals or teams, thatcompetitive element should not be the overriding factor in the school sportenvironment. Conduct of the team and each person associated with the teamplays a critical role in the success of ACC sport. There are strict rules aboutstudent behaviour and also rules governing the conduct of coaches andspectators. These rules can be found on the ACC website under: SPORTS &EVENTS / Codes of Conduct. It is vital that these guidelines for conduct areadheredto.

STAFFSUPERVISION–SPECTATORSThesupervisionofstudentspectatorsisanimportantpartofmakingvisitorsfeelwelcome to your school. Our sporting program does not encourage a tribalmentality, and the home school students should never try to create anintimidatingenvironmentforvisitingteams.Activesupervisionbyyourschool’sstaff and student leaders will help to create an enjoyable atmosphere for allconcerned. One of the great aspects of sport is the active involvement ofspectators.Theirsupportcanaddsignificantlytothesportingexperienceoftheplayers,butadverselycanalsodistractthemfrom“focussingontheball”andattimes encourage actions that do not align with our focus on fair play andsportsmanship.
