18. In efforts to improve sportsmanship, the Donald W. Reynolds Recreation Youth Basketball has adopted the following:

Any “egregious” unsportsmanlike behavior by Coaches, Players, or Fans will result in suspension for that game plus the next game. On a second offense in the same season / same sport will cause the SUSPENSION of the Team and/or Individual for the rest of the season.

Some of the following examples of “egregious” unsportsmanlike behavior:

- Fans constantly verbally attacking officials.

- Fans physically attacking officials.

- Fans attacking other fans at athletic events.

- Coaches physically attacking or verbally berating officials.

FIGHTING IS AN AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION FOR THE SEASON
