Fair Play Code
Every participant in Sikh Games — player, coach, official, and spectator — commits to upholding the spirit of fair competition. We compete fiercely but always with respect for opponents, officials, and the game itself.
Respect the rules. Respect the officials. Respect your opponents. Win with humility, lose with grace, and always play with heart.
Clean Sport Pledge
Sikh Games is committed to clean sport. We oppose the use of performance-enhancing drugs and support the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) anti-doping policies. All participants agree to compete free from prohibited substances.
