THIS SHOULD CONTAIN THE RELEVANT EVIDENCE REQUIRED TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE/ APPEAL ETC. SCHOOL: DATE: SPORT: AGE GROUP/ SECTION: CONVENOR: BRIEF EXPLANATION: SPORT COORDINATOR’S SIGNATURE: DATE: PRINCIPAL’S SIGNATURE: DATE: INFECTIOUS DISEASES POLICY It is strongly recommended that all contact sports coaches, managers, officials, players and their parents be informed of this policy and its commonsense recommendations. A number of blood-borne diseases can be transmitted during body contact sports. The more serious include HEPATITIS and HIV (AIDS) infections. These diseases may be spread by contact between broken skin or mucous membranes and infected: - Blood; - Saliva (not for HIV); - Semen and Vaginal fluids. N.B. There is no evidence that sweat/ urine, and tears will transmit Hepatitis B or HIV. THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF TRANSMITTING INFECTIOUS DISEASES (All open cuts and abrasions must be reported and treated immediately) PLAYERS: 1. It is every participant's responsibility to maintain strict personal hygiene, as this is the best method of controlling the spread of these diseases. 2. It is strongly recommended that all participants involved in contact sport be vaccinated against HEPATITIS B. 3. All participants with prior evidence of these diseases are strongly advised to obtain confidential advice clearance from a doctor prior to competition. TEAM AREAS: 1. It is each school's responsibility that their dressing rooms are clean and tidy. Particular attention should be paid to hand-basins, toilets and showers. Adequate soap, paper handtowels, brooms, refuse disposal bins and disinfectants must be available at all times. 2. The practices of spitting and urinating in team areas must not be permitted. 3. All clothing, equipment and surfaces contaminated by blood must be treated as potentially infectious and treated accordingly. 4. It is strongly recommended that all staff working in contact sport team areas should be vaccinated against HEPATITIS B. 5. In all training areas, open cuts and abrasions must be reported to the coach and treated immediately. REFEREES AND OFFICIALS: 1. It is strongly that those officiating in body contact sports should be vaccinated against HEPATITIS B. 2. Officials must report all open cuts and abrasions to team coaches/ managers at the first available opportunity. 3. All contaminated clothing and equipment must be replaced prior to the player being allowed to resume playing. 4. If bleeding should recur, the above procedures must be repeated. 5. If bleeding cannot be controlled, or the wound securely covered, the player must not continue playing. EDUCATION: 1. There is an obligation upon all relevant sports staff to provide suitable information on the associated risk factors and prevention strategies against these diseases. Additional information may be obtained from doctors or state Health Departments. 2. The safe handling of contaminated clothing, equipment and surfaces must be brought to the attention of all players and associated staff. 3. Although Hepatitis B vaccination is usually effective in raising immunity to hepatitis B, it provides no protection against other blood-borne diseases such as HIV. Vaccinations must not result in any relaxation of hygiene standards. SUN PROTECTION POLICY INTRODUCTION: It is well known that Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. Levels of ultraviolet radiation are particularly high in many locations around Australia. Many sporting events organized by School Sport Victoria and its members are conducted outdoors and in locations, which have been identified as high skin cancers risk areas, particularly at certain times of the day. It is therefore incumbent on School Sport Victoria and its members to protect students and staff to the greatest extent possible, from the dangers of exposure to the sun. AIMS: The aims of this policy are to promote: a) b) c) An awareness of the dangers of exposure to the sun and the need for protective measures. The need for positive attitudes and responsible behaviours towards skin protection. Practices which can reduce the incidence of skin cancer. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES In order to ensure that participants at School Sport Victoria events are afforded the best possible protection from skin damage caused by the sun, the following implementation strategies are recommended: 1. Sport Coordinators should ensure that team uniforms are suitable for the locations to be visited and that hats are included when travelling to high sun risk venues. 2. Sport Coordinators/ Conveners, where possible, should schedule matches outside the identified high risk times. 3. Sport Coordinators/ Conveners, where possible, should ensure that adequate shade areas are provided at competition venues. 4. Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials provide team members with adequate instruction on sun sense and protection measures. 5. Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials provide modeling behaviours which are appropriate for protection from the sun. 6. Sport Coordinators should ensure that team officials encourage personal protection measures for students at all times, including: Encouraging the wearing of hats when in the sun Encouraging the use of broad spectrum sunscreen Encouraging the use of available shade areas whenever possible The above are protective measures which the School Sport Victoria encourages all participants to embrace so as to ensure the appropriate precautions are taken when exposed to the sun. HYDRATION GUIDELINES DRINK WATER - DRINK FLUIDS - DRINK WATER - DRINK FLUIDS INTRODUCTION The School Sport Victoria provides programs that have both sporting and educational opportunities for students. The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that students become aware of the benefits of proper hydration practices before, during and after physical activity. It is essential therefore, that adults accompanying teams to School Sport Victoria events ensure that students are not placed at risk and are properly hydrated before participating in physical activity. Key Messages The following messages should be used to help convey the benefits of proper hydration THIRST IS A POOR INDICATOR OF FLUID NEED HYDRATE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PLAY Suggested Procedures The following procedures are suggested for all School Sport Victoria events: Teachers should ensure that water is available at all times. Other fluids that may be used include diluted sports drinks, diluted cordial and diluted fruit juices. Carbonated drinks should not be used. The procedures to be followed for providing fluid to students during competition should be clearly identified prior to the commencement of competition Scheduled breaks in matches should be used to actively promote the benefits of hydration to participants. Where possible, accompanying teachers should actively promote the use of interchanges rules as a tool to prevent dehydration. Participating teams may designate their own water carriers.

IF the batter chooses to leave or misses a wide delivery, they score 2 runs for the wide plus whatever runs they score from the next ball which is a free hit. FREE-HITS - batters can only be run-out; ie. cannot be given out caught, bowled, stumped, hit-wicker, l.b.w.

BSC score will be 90 + (2x5) = 100; VS Yea HS who scored 75 runs and took 7 wickets. Yea HS score will be 75 + (7 x 5) = 110. Therefore, Yea HS defeated BSC College.

Competent scorer and score sheets 1 Competent line umpire/ 1 Competent net umpire/ 1 First Aid Kit THE CONVENER IS IN SOLE CHARGE OF THE DAY AND THEIR DECISION IS FINAL, SUBJECT TO THE UPPER HUME PROTEST PROCEDURES. TEAMS ARE RESTRICTED TO A MAXIMUM OF 12 PLAYERS FOR THE DAY. CONDITIONS OF THE COMPETITION: 1. Volleyball will be conducted under the rules of the International Volleyball Association, as set out by the Australian Volleyball Association unless otherwise stated. 2. The format of the competition will be a Split Round-Robin with a final between the winners of each pool. If five or less teams are competing then a full round robin will be played. The Upper Hume Winner will progress to the Hume Region Finals. Duty teams are responsible for supplying a referee and a scorer. 3. Matches are to be the best of three advantage sets, or of 40 minutes’ duration, whichever is first. All sets are point a rally. The first two sets will be played to 20 points with a two point advantage. The third set will be played to 15 points with a two point advantage. If a set is unfinished at ‘time’, the team leading that set by two or more points shall be the winner of that set, provided that the team has reached at least 8 points. If one team wins the first two sets then the third set is not played. 4. The final will be played as in 3, but with no time limit. 5. Points are to be awarded for the Round-Robin matches to determine the winners of each pool on the following basis: Win: 2 points Draw: 1 point Loss: 0 points 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. If, at the end of the round robin, two teams are equal on matches won, then the winner of their face to face match will be declared the winner. If their face to face match was tied, then sets percentage will be compared. If still equal, points percentage. If more than two teams are equal on matches won, then the winner will be determined by set percentage (sets for / sets for + sets against) against the other tied teams, then on points percentage (points for / points for + points against) against the other tied teams. When doing these calculations involving a 3-way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the 4th, 5th etc teams. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL team results are to be used. Teams are to be attired in similar team uniforms with clearly visible numbers on both the front and back. Nonmarking shoes must be worn. Any player not appropriately attired, as listed, will not be permitted to participate.
