Policy Objective

1. To limit and monitor the independent purchase of equipment and uniforms by coaches and parents.

2. To maintain the integrity of the association as a low cost, one price organization with no hidden costs.

3. To maintain consistency in appearance amongst teams at the same level of competition.

4. To establish uniform and equipment issue/return procedure and responsibility.

5. To ensure that coaches, parents and players are aware of the consequences of not abiding by this policy.

Responsibility

1. All WKYA participants are required become familiar with and abide by all WKYA Policies and Procedures.

2. Coaches: Coaches assume financial responsibility (replacement cost) for equipment and uniforms issued to them. If unable to assume financial responsibility, the coach must appoint a parent or guardian to act in his/her stead with regards to this responsibility.

3. Participants: Participants assume financial responsibility (replacement cost) for equipment and uniforms issued to them.

4. Coaches and participants are not eligible to participate in WKYAuntil all delinquent accounts are cleared.

Policy

It will be the policy of WKYA to provide players with safe and efficient equipment and uniforms. All uniform and equipment purchases will be made through the Seasonal Sports Coordinator.

Coaches, parents, and players may not substitute any uniform items supplied by WKYA.

Any equipment substitutions require approval of the Seasonal Sports Coordinator.

It is understood that teams may decide to purchase uniform items not provided by WKYA. I.E. Baseball pants, sweat pants for flag football, bloomers for cheerleading etc. This, under no circumstance, is to be considered mandatory for any participant. This is done to keep individual parents from succumbing to the pressures of the majority even when they may not be able to afford such a purchase. This also protects the parent of a child who is placed on the team in a future year who would have no say in the decision.

Equipment and Uniform Issue

The Seasonal Sports Coordinator, or designated representative, will issue equipment to the assigned coach and record all items on WKYA’s Agreement to Collect Uniforms & Return Equipment form. Both will sign and date. The Seasonal Sports Coordinator will retain the form.

The Coach, WKYA Board Member, or volunteer will issue uniforms to the parent or guardian of the participant, recording all information on WKYA’s Parent Uniform Agreement. Both will sign and date. The form will be returned to the Seasonal Sports Coordinator.

***Note***
The WKYA Agreement to Collect Uniforms & Return Equipment and Parent Uniform/Equipment Agreement policy statement may not altered without the WKYA Board of Director’s approval.
Equipment and Uniform Return

The coach, or designated representative is responsible to gather all uniforms and equipment and turn in same as directed by the Seasonal Sports Coordinator.

Accountability

Uniforms: The parent or guardian is responsible to turn in uniforms as directed by the coach. After the uniform items are turned in, the coach will turn all uniforms in to the Seasonal sports coordinator or his/her designated representative. The uniform will then be inspected for abuse/alterations. If the uniform is in good repair the signed Parent Uniform Agreement will be discarded. The account is then considered cleared.

Equipment: Coach is responsible to turn all equipment as directed by the Seasonal Sports Coordinator. When the equipment is turned in, the Seasonal Sports Coordinator will ensure all equipment issued is present and inspected for abuse. If the all equipment is present and in good repair the signed Agreement to Collect Uniforms & Return Equipmentform will be discarded. The account is then considered cleared.

Action

The Seasonal Sports Coordinator will turn in all forms for uniforms and or equipment not turned in to the WKYA Board of Directors at the first regularly scheduled board meeting following conclusion of the season.

The WKYA Board of Directors will mail a misconduct notice to all participants informing them of suspension, stating reason for the notice, and action required to clear all accounts.
