MASS JUNIORS/ MASS PATRIOTS PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT

In order to ensure the safety and well being of the athletes, coaches and parents of the Mass Patriots and Mass Juniors Volleyball program, and to best represent the program, players and coaching staff, I hereby agree to abide by the following Code of Conduct:

I will show sportsmanship and respect toward all opponents, teammates, spectators, officials, coaches and parents.

I will refrain from any physical action that may endanger the safety and well being of any person I come into contact with while participating in the Mass Patriots/ Mass Juniors Volleyball programs.

I will refrain from any verbal action that may detract from the integrity of the program or an individual. I will verbally support all members and their parents of the Mass Patriots/ Mass Juniors Volleyball Program, as well as the players and parents from other programs.

I agree to uphold all laws and regulations as dictated by local, State, and Federal governments (i.e. underage drinking, smoking, assault, shoplifting etc.) while under the supervision of the Mass Patriots and Mass Juniors Volleyball program.

I agree to abide by any nutritional guidelines as established by the Mass Patriots/Mass Juniors coaches for athletes during tournaments.

I will adhere to any training requirements as established by the coaching staff. I understand that these training requirements are in addition to any other requirement set forth by other sport activities and training in which I may be involved.

I agree to respect the property of others (teammates, hotels, gyms, etc.) and to pay for any losses and/or damages that I am found responsible for.

I agree never to leave the gym or hotel without permission from the coaching staff. Should I be granted the permission to leave at those times, I will accompany members of the Mass Patriots/Mass Juniors program or my parents.

I agree to abide by curfew rules set for the athletes for any overnight trips. Curfew rules include quiet, non-talking rooms at the appointed time. Parents must also agree not to interrupt the sleep of the athletes by knocking on their doors or calling their rooms after the appointed lights out time unless it is an emergency.

I understand that on any trip or at any tournament, I am under the direct responsibility and authority of the Mass Patriots or Mass Juniors coaching staff and will follow and abide by all reasonable rules and decisions made by these persons.

I, as a player, agree not to be in the possession of or utilize illegal drugs, tobacco and/or alcohol while under the supervision of the Mass Patriots/ Mass Juniors Volleyball Program. I also agree not to be found in the presence of such substances being used by other youths or I will be found equally at fault. Supervision includes practice, tournaments and overnight trips.

 

I understand that violation of this code will result in disciplinary action that may include expulsion from the program. There will be no financial reimbursement for any violation of this policy that results in dismissal from the program.
