Commitment & Permission

​​​​PLAYERS COMMITMENT

  • Attend games on time, every week, or notify my coach and/or the sports coordinator at least two school days prior, stating why I am unable to attend.
  • Focus on what the team is doing and try to improve my skills and my physical abilities.
  • Treat everyone with respect and kindness. This includes: coaches, teammates, opponents, officials and fans of both teams.
  • Go to coaches first if I have a problem related to the teams. I will not complain to others until I have given the person I have a problem with an opportunity to correct it.
  • When attending training, work hard to develop good habits by practicing with proper technique and maximum effort. The habits we develop in training are the habits that will determine how we play in games. Train how you want to play!
  • Turn up to all trainings and games in the correct uniform and ensure any loaned uniforms are returned at the conclusion of the season.
  • Uniforms not returned or damaged will incur a replacement fee.​

PLAYERS EXPECTATIONS 

  • It is expected that all students attend training. If they are unable to attend, they must notify the coach/sport coordinator or sport assistant via teams with a reason for non-attendance provided. Any exemption from regular participation in training must be approved by the Sports Coordinator. Weekly selection in games is dependant on training attendance, attitude and sporting performance.

  • I will not gossip or talk about other players or parents with anyone and if I have a complaint, I will contact the coach/sports coordinator or the person involved directly.
