WHAT IS A SANCTION?
A BC Netball Association (BC Netball) sanction is an official designation provided by BC Netball that approves the holding of a competition or other approved event in BC. The sanction is also a contract showing the event organizers commitment to follow provincial, national and international rules and regulations of the sport and to provide a safe environment for all involved.
PURPOSE OF SANCTIONING AN EVENT IS TO HELP ORGANIZERS ENSURE THAT:
1. The health, safety and welfare of all players and officials is a priority.
2. The event will be well managed and will be conducted in a fair and safe manner.
3. The event meets a standard of quality required for sanctioning by BC Netball.
4. The event does not conflict with any other BC Netball event.
