Travel Policy Reminder
January 24, 2017 -
1. All athletes on 14’s teams and up must stay with the team while attending overnight tournaments. Any exceptions to this must be approved by the head coach.
2. Athletes on 13’s teams and younger will travel and stay in hotel rooms with a parent or chaperone at a hotel designated by A5 except when attending AAU Nationals, where the athletes will stay together in a house with the designated coach or chaperone.
3. Once hotels are reserved and the shared expense is listed we will not change dates of hotel stay due to wave times. We cannot predict the wave times for each team that will be playing in a tournament and we must confirm hotel reservations far in advance of any tournament. Please do not ask a coach if we can cancel team hotel rooms.
4. All athletes must adhere to curfews established by their coach or chaperone when traveling with the club. Athletes are to be in their designated rooms at the designated curfew hour. “Lights out” means “lights out:” lights, television, phones, and computers are to be off at this time.
5. At no time will an athlete be allowed to leave hotel property without the expressed permission of their coach or chaperone.
6. Any parent volunteer providing transportation for a tournament is under the direction of the head coachinsofar as when and where athletes are required to be. Please do not volunteer if you cannot work in conjunction with the team requirements.
7. Transportation to and from all practices, club-sponsored events, airports, and non-team traveltournaments is the responsibility of the parents.
8. When at restaurants, the team and coaches will sit together at one table or assigned seating. Parents may be invited to team meals, but will sit with other parents.
9. When at a lodging location, athletes must travel in pairs (at a minimum) when walking outside of the hotel rooms.
10. When at a lodging location, there shall be no display of disrespect toward any club (A5 or otherwise), coach, athlete, parent, or hotel guest or employee.
11. Members of the opposite sex are not permitted in the rooms of the athletes’ lodging at any time. Violation of the policy will result in immediate expulsion from A5.
