  This policy is to ensure all participants are aware of and uphold the minimum standards of behavior as set by Basketball Queensland (BQ) and Eastside Basketball Limited (EBL).
  
  Bay City Wolves has adopted, in line with EBL and BQ, a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate or abusive behaviors from all parents, players, and spectators.
  
  Inappropriate and abusive behavior include, but are not limited to:
  persistent or willful questioning or challenging of the rulings or opinions of a referee or scorer, team official, court controller, referee supervisor, EBL or BQ representative, venue personnel, jeering or booing a player, team or official, verbally and/or physically confronting or abusing any person/s at any time.

This may include, but not limited to, expulsion from the venue, suspension from participation in games (in any or all capacity) or cancellation of player's registration with Bay City Wolves.
  
  I hereby agree to assume all risks and responsibilities surrounding my (or my child's) participation in the program under the instruction of your teams' coaches.

  I understand completely the above agreement and agree to be bound thereby.
