Dress Code Policy Overall Standards; All team staff shall be required to dress in a way that clearly distinguishes them as part of the team and from other game night staff. Individuals should be recognisable as much for how they appear as what they wear. The best description of the standard for non-playing staff would be business casual. The best description for playing staff would be playing uniform. The practical implications of this are: Coaches and Assistant Coaches Coaches must wear a collared shirt. If this is a polo shirt then it must be a club branded polo. During colder weather it is understandable that this will be covered by a jacket of some type, and the jacket must be either a club tracksuit jacket or other jacket that fits the general description of business casual wear. Denim, shorts or track suit pants are not acceptable for Coaches and their Assistants. Shoes must be clean and tidy. Basketball shoes or other runners are not acceptable. Team Managers Recognising that Team Managers have differing responsibilities this standard can be modified slightly. A team manager may wear a club tracksuit provided it is the same colour as the warm up track suit for the players and that it is a full tracksuit, that is, matching top and bottom. The track suit top must carry club branding. If the Team Manager is wearing a tracksuit, then runners are permissible. Obviously in warmer weather a tracksuit bottom and club polo shirt are suitable. Players Players must arrive to the game wearing either a club branded polo-shirt or jacket and black dress pants. The other option is a club branded tracksuit- or in the warmer weather club branded tracksuit pants and a club branded polo-shirt. No denim. Other Team Staff Other team staff; physiotherapists, doctors etc. must comply with the standard for Coaches. Any non-playing individuals wishing to be part of the team bench must dress to these standards. If they do not, they should be seated as spectators, not as part of the team. Squad Players Squad players not participating in the game may sit with the team provided they are dressed to the same standard as the Coaching staff or in a full team tracksuit as per the team manager. If they are not dressed to this standard, they should be seated as spectators. Penalties The league shall fine a club $50.00 per person for any breach of these standards. .
