TRAVEL RESPONSIBILITIES
The players are expected to travel and stay and participate with the team for the entire event.

For as long as the team is still playing in the tournament, players are required to meet at a designated area,
at a designated time as specified by the coach as per itinerary to do any team related activities such as meals, walks

etc.

The entire event is classified as when the player leaves at the home airport or hotel and when the player returns

to the home airport or at the end of the participating tournament. Any exceptions will be granted
and determined by the Head Coach.

As far as common practice, all participants on the trip are expected to be polite, positive, well-mannered, cooperative,
good sports, and respectful and considerate of others.

Rooms and the vans will need to be kept clean.

There are times when players may be without direct adult supervision. When this happens, the Head Coach will be expected to know where you are and when you will be back. At the same time, it is always your responsibility to:
a) know how to find one of the adults,
b) to know when and where you are expected to be next,
c) to be there on time.
When you are off without adult supervision, you will always use the “Rule of Three” - at least three players together.
