COMPETITIVE TEAM COMMITMENT AGREEMENT 2017 – 2018

Athletes and parents must be aware that competitive team practices are COMPULSORY. Prolonged or frequent absence from practice creates difficulty for both the coach and the team to develop, rehearse, and perfect their routine. Any absence should be reported to the coach by email, telephone or text as soon as possible before the practice.

In particular, the two weeks leading up to each competition is critical and no practice should be missed for any reason. This team commitment involves the entire swim season (September to June). If a swimmer wishes to become involved with any new activity during the swim year, (such as a job, school sport or activity) then the swimmer and the parent(s)/guardian(s) must contact the team coach to discuss the commitment involved and ensure that it does not conflict with the team’s practice and competition schedule.

For any extended absence a doctor's note is required detailing the illness or injury. After an injury there must be approval from the parent(s)/guardian(s) that the swimmer can return fully to practice.

Unless the illness or injury is contagious or debilitating, the swimmer is expected to be on deck during the scheduled practices.

If the coach feels a swimmer is missing too many practices or sitting out too often, they will contact you.

Should any issue come up, your first contact is with the coach. Please do so as soon as possible. Either telephone your coach or speak with her in private after a scheduled practice. If the issue cannot be resolved in this manner, please contact our Head Coach and then the Club Executive accordingly.

We thank you in advance for your understanding, support and co-operation.

Sincerely, Your Sea Star Coaches & Club Executive

We have read and understood the Competitive Team Commitment Agreement.
