New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Boys & Tennis Rule and Regulations
Spectators are not allowed to interfere with play. Most spectator interference is of a verbal nature, with the applauding of a player's errors and intimidation the most common problems. Spectators are not allowed to coach during play, change-overs, between sets, or any other time. Infractions will be penalized according to #18 B as illegal coaching. Communication in any language other than English shall be considered illegal coaching.
Team members are considered spectators and may not coach.
If a player feels that spectators are interfering with the match, he should inform his/her coach immediately and cease play until the coach has contacted the opposing coach and the situation is resolved.
Each coach is responsible for controlling spectators associated with his/her team, with ultimate control resting with the coach of the home team.
If a coach feels that the conduct of the spectators, not his/her own, is such that there is an unfair advantage given to
his/her opponent, the Athletic Director is directed to contact the Administrator/Athletic Director of the opposing school the day following said match. The match must be completed.
Profanity, obscene gestures, crossing the net, ball abuse, racket abuse, emotional outbursts, delaying play by stalling, threatening an opponent with physical violence, taunting, excessive celebration, being illegally coached, or any other unsportsmanlike act will be penalized as follows:
1st offense - Point Penalty
2nd offense - Game Penalty
3rd offense - Default
