Sports Handbook
Please take the time to read through the Sports Handbook which outlines the necessary guidelines, processes and policies to make participation in sport at ACG Sunderland successful for all involved.
Sports Code of Conduct
Involvement in sports at ACG Sunderland should be a positive sporting experience for our students, supporters, officials, and those engaging with us in the wider sporting community. Central to this is our Sports Code of Conduct, which is contained within our Sports Handbook.
By involvement within the ACG Sunderland programme All Players, Coaches, and Managers, will be expected to adhere to Sports Code of Conduct when registering to take part.
Good sport is about a positive attitude. You can set the right tone and help make the game a success. Play your part – by playing hard and playing fair.
Competitions and Age Groups
Auckland Secondary School Sports Competition Information on events, draws and results, is found on the College Sport Website and should be viewed regularly for updates.
All ACG Sunderland students Y7-13 are eligible to compete in competition at college level.
Generally, most college sport codes have a junior competition for students in Year 9-10, and a senior competition for students in Year 11-13.
Students will compete at age levels, with student age as at 1st January of the year of competition or 31st December. High performing teams or individuals may be offered the opportunities to attend Regional and National tournaments.
Sport Fees
Sports fees are calculated based on the minimum number of players for the team or event to run, and they are charged to student’s accounts. They have been calculated to include affiliation fees, entry fees, uniforms, equipment maintenance and replacement and venue hire (as appropriate). Transport costs may be an additional charge.
For sports with external coaches this will incur an additional fee for the duration of the competition.
Students are encouraged to represent school and interschool competitions and are billed to cover entry fees and related costs on an event-by-event basis.
If a team wants to do independent fundraising, this must be first approved by school management.
To learn more about the specific sport fees please visit the Parent Portal/ School Links.
Uniform
Please follow the uniform requirements as indicated by ACG Sunderland. The school has to register playing uniforms, therefore, please wear uniform as stated. All players are expected to wear the correct uniform when representing the school. No player will be permitted to take the field unless in correct uniform. Players can choose to wear the school tracksuit or the school hoodie to and from games, however, no other items should be worn. For practises students are to wear appropriate clothing.
School issued uniform items must be cleaned and returned to the Director of Sport at the conclusion of their season or as directed at the end of the individual event. Any lost, damaged or non-returned uniform will result in a fee charged to your child’s account.
Transport
Students will be expected to make their own transport arrangements to and from games.
While it is appreciated that transport may be difficult at times immediately after school, students must make arrangements before the day of the competition.
Players must be picked up promptly after the scheduled finishing times of games and training sessions, whether these are held at school or other venues.
