PLAYER COMMITMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS
It is our
intention to present this information only as a guideline.
The following commitments and expectations are not intended
to account for every conceivable example of unacceptable
behavior. We will consider the spirit as well as the
documentation of the incident when addressing any
transgression.
As a
Predators Player, I:
·
understand
that my actions, good and bad, reflect directly not only on
myself but also on the team, and our affiliates. A team’s
reputation is built on behavior, courtesy, sportsmanship and
playing ability
·
will
exhibit proper behavior, fair play, respect and
sportsmanship towards all parties at every practice, game,
tournament or at any related events. I will also encourage
this behavior from my teammates, coaches, officials, parents
and supporters
·
will make
a personal commitment to achieve academic success in the
classroom to the best of my abilities
·
will not
engage in physical or verbal confrontations with players,
coaches, officials or fans before, during or after practices
and games
·
will be
humble, generous and gracious in victory; courteous and
dignified in defeat
·
be on time
and attend all practices and games
·
will wear
my uniform in a proper and complete fashion; socks will be
pulled up and jerseys tucked in
·
will
participate with focus and commitment at all practices and
games
·
will
inform the coach or team manager if I will be late for, or
unable to attend a practice or game
·
will
inform my coach or team manager immediately of any injury
·
will never
leave a practice or game without the permission of my coach
·
will
practice on my own
·
will abide
by the “FIFA Rules of the Game” and the rules, policies and
procedures of BVSC, Heartland Soccer Association and any
corresponding tournament
·
understand
that the amount of playing time I receive in games will be
based on my skills, punctuality, attitude and practice/game
performance. I know that I may receive more or less playing
time than my teammates and playing time is not guaranteed
·
will never
use a controlled substance (drugs), tobacco products or
drink alcoholic beverages for recreational purposes. Proven
substance use and/or possession are cause for immediate
dismissal from our team
·
will
approach the coach first (with parent in attendance
if necessary) regarding any soccer related concerns or
questions
* I have
read and fully understand the
PREDATORS
PLAYER COMMITMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS as it pertains to
my participation on a Predators Team.
DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES
First
offense:
·
A meeting
will take place with all involved parties (Player, Parent,
Coach, Team Manager and if necessary the BVSC Disciplinary
Committee) to discuss the issue and ultimate resolution
Second
offense:
·
A two-week
suspension from all team activities will be enforced for the
involved party
Third
offense:
·
The
person(s) in violation will be suspended from any team
involvement for the remainder of the current season. Any
future return to play/involvement will not be guaranteed but
will be granted if reconciliation can be reached.
Involvement will then be granted on a probationary basis.
Any violation during that time may result in dismissal from
the team.
If an
offense is severe in nature, we reserve the right to move
directly to the consequences of the second or third offense
after which a meeting may take place.
