While At Tournaments
While at any event, be it an NCVA, USA Volleyball, or any out of region event, players and parents are expected to maintain a higher standard than any other club. Players and parents will abide by the Renegades Volleyball Club Code of Conduct. Upon arrival at tournament venues players will behave in a manner that will reflect positively on Renegades Volleyball Club. During the tournament, players and parents will be respectful of all officials and tournament staff. Players and parents will always reflect good sportsmanship.
During referee assignments Renegades Volleyball Club players must act in a professional manner, giving the teams whom we are officiating, the same respect and attention to detail of the assignment that we expect from them. No iPods/mp3 players will be work during reffing assignments, nor will any player down ref a match without a whistle or without paying attention to the assignments given to the down ref.
At the conclusion of an event, players and parents, will clean up any and all garbage left at our "camp site" and leave no trash behind.
