| The following "Player Code
of Conduct" has been adopted
by UOVA. By signing the membership
application form, all UOVA members
agree to the terms and conditions
of this Code. By signing a tournament
entry form, all players agree to abide
by the UOVA Code of Conduct during
UOVA-sanctioned tournament.
These rules of conduct will be
strictly enforced during the season.
Unfortunately, two suspensions were
made during the 2003 season. However,
we want to thank everyone for your
awareness of and adherence to these
rules. By making the rules known,
players can help monitor each others'
behavior so that everyone has a
fun and fair experience.
2008 CODE OF CONDUCT SPECIAL FOCUS:
Swearing/Foul Language will be reprimanded
and penalized at all UOVA tournaments.
One warning will be issued by the
UOVA rep or by the Tournament Director,
accompanied by a side-out and a
one-point penalty. A second infraction
will result in a game forfeit penalty,
and a third will result in you being
asked to leave the tournament. Our
tournaments are attended by families,
children, and the public, and we
want to present the finest volleyball
and sportsmanship possible. Thank
you for your cooperation!
