If a parent is to collect a player from the leisure centre, they are asked to call in at the viewing area where the player will be informed to wait until collection.
The leaders will only wait with the players after the games when specifically requested by a parent who has become unavoidably delayed.
Parents should be aware that occasionally games will be completed prior to the scheduled time and therefore
Should bear this in mind if they are to leave the players unaccompanied.
Gill Naylor has offered to co-ordinate the transport rota, The players/parents must contact her if they wish to participate in the rota.
It is assumed by the Club that the driver of the transport provided will be qualified and covered by appropriate Insurance cover. No responsibility can be accepted by the club if this is not the case.
After each match day a player from each team will receive a man of the match certificate, this will be made to the player who displayed skills as a good team member, not always the top scorer etc.
An annual awards presentation event will be held for all the teams in the league where cups/medals and certificates (if appropriate)will be given.
The players are requested to ensure that all their property is clearly marked. They are not encouraged to take items of value to matches. The Club can not be held responsible for loss of, or damage to property.
If players are not available for matches /training sessions the leaders should be notified as soon as possible.
(Not via another player) If a player persistently misses training sessions/matches without good cause he will not be considered for selection at the commencement of a match.
His parents will also be informed of his regular absence.
We fully appreciate the fact that players may not always be available, but
as we only have a small squad the loss players per match may require us to
forfeit the game
But even more seriously a parent may believe that the player is with the
club but in fact is somewhere else.
The leaders will treat all players as young adults and with respect. It is expected that all players should
Show respect for other players and the leaders.
Foul and abusive language. Dangerous play. Bullying. Failing to participate as a team member etc will not be tolerated.
League rules state that any player who swears on the field of play will be sent off and banned from two matches with immediate effect. This rule is very strictly adhered too.
If after initial warnings the players behaviour does not improve the players parents will be invited to meet the leaders with the player present, if this does not improve the behaviour of the player he will be asked to leave the club.
This action will only be taken in exceptional circumstances for the good of the club.
The Health/Information/transport form must be returned fully completed to the leaders by 31 /7 /2000
To ensure that we secure a place in the league, as the number of teams permitted to play is limited.
The form should only be returned if the player wishes to participate fully in the club.
Players/Parents should retain this form.
Reference to Parent means Parent/Guardian
Reference to Club includes the leaders/Church.
