THE PURPOSE
The sanctioning of secondary school sport events, competitions and tournaments has been in place
for a number of years. Sanctioning events includes a wide range of benefits for schools, sports,
students and volunteers. These include:

1. Sanctioning ensures there is a summer sport window and a winter sport window, and reduces
   encroachment of competitions over these windows
2. Sanctioning supports event organisers to provide quality competitions without major potential
   clashes with other sports
3. Sanctioning provides a sporting calendar that offers a wide range of opportunities for young
   people
4. Sanctioning provides opportunities for school staff and students to reset and focus on education
   outcomes e.g. exams, after lengthy seasons, tournaments away, sports exchanges and
   tournament weeks.
5. Sanctioning supports the overall wellbeing of students and ensures there aren’t all year round
   sports competitions that promote over muscle use injuries, player burnout, volunteer/coach
   burnout, and decreased motivation from students resulting in dropping out
6. Sanctioning supports schools and their core business to provide a quality learning environment
   for young people, and ensures sports take this into consideration when planning events
7. Sanctioning ensures there is accountability and responsibility regarding fees, competition
   structure and health and safety procedures for students and schools
THE PROCESS
 1. Sanctioning opens online
 2. Organisers submit competition details online
 3. Sanctioning closes
 4. Hawke’s Bay Secondary Schools Sport Management Committee meet to analyse details
     submitted to ensure sanctioning regulations are met and satisfactory

TOURNAMENT WEEKS
Schools do not expect to play games and/or competition during or after tournament week for any
reason
•        SUMMER TOURNAMENT WEEK: Week starting 25th March
•        WINTER TOURNAMENT WEEK: Week starting 2nd September
•        All competitions should be finished before Tournament Week

Competitions are only sanctioned until the week before any tournament week. The week during
tournament week is too chaotic for any meaningful competition to take place as school’s venture
out to different parts of the country – taking with them school vans, coaches, volunteers and
resources that would normally make weekly school sport happen.

This parameter is in place to avoid the burnout of school sport personnel (players, coaches,
managers and officials) after a grueling tournament week and to provide a break before another
winter/summer season starts and the same people begin to volunteer once again.

                                            FEES
1.   Any increase in fee structure SHOULD BE communicated to Sport Hawke’s Bay BEFORE
     submitting your sanctioning material. Failure to do so could inhibit your chances of being
     sanctioned on time
2.   Justification for any increase will be sought and considered by the management committee.
     Anything outside of a CPI increase will be questioned.
3.   Competition organisers will be required to front the management committee if unsatisfactory
     justification has been provided.

                                                                                            6
TIME OF PLAY
1. Consider the finishing times of all schools to allow for travel time.
2. 4pm is the ideal start time when events are run after school.
3. Consider playing one day events on the weekend.
4. This will help elevate issues for schools around staffing and transportation.
5. NZCEA exams for senior students begin the week of 4th November. This may cause disruptions
   to senior teams that participate in club competitions e.g. cricket.
6. The Secondary School Sport calendar is very busy; therefore organisers should refer to the 2018
   calendar to see any potential clashes with other codes.

                 DRAWS AND INFORMATION
1. All information regarding your sanctioned events should be emailed to Sport Hawke’s Bay to
    ensure it is distributed through the school networks.
2. You may have your own school database of Teachers in Charge of your Sport/Coaches but it is
    important Sport Coordinators and Directors of Sport receive this information also.
3. Sport Hawke’s Bay holds an up-to-date database of for all schools.
4. Draws should be simple and readable. Where possible a complete draw for the season should
    be distributed at the start of the season.
5. Check computer generated draws. Where possible two teams from the same school should
    play at the same venue (to assist with transport / teacher supervision).
6. Schools and codes should work in partnership to provide safe, suitable facilities for the whole
    competition.

                                                                                              7
