Honor Code 2008-2009

  

The following code is in effect throughout the year. Some of the items refer specifically to team travel. Additionally, anyone who, in the opinion of the coach or coaches, acts in a manner that would interfere with the travel objectives listed below, will be subject to immediate return home (at the expense of the parent and/or swimmer) and other punishments including barring from future travel meets or other competition, suspension from practice, or dismissal from the team.

 

1)    All CSC team members should be respectful of their peers, coaches, and parents.  Any CSC team member not acting in such a manner will be asked to change or stop that behavior.  If that team member fails to comply, they will be asked to leave and disciplinary procedures will follow.

 

2)    CSC will travel as a team and as individual families in order to compete with the best and further strive to  better competition.  Everyone is expected to behave in an exemplary manner. The reputation of CSC, as well as the other athletes with you, is dependent on your behavior.

 

3)    The coaching staff holds the final word on any rules, regulations, or disciplinary action.

 

4)    The consumption or purchase of alcohol, smoking or chewing tobacco, or use of any other illegal drug or USOC banned substance of any kind will not be allowed. In addition, any team member found or suspected to be in the presence of others (regardless of team affiliation) partaking in any of the above activities will be subject to the same punishments and probable expulsion from CSC. Any swimmer suspected of such activity will appear before a review committee composed of the senior team coach, the head age group coach, the club president, and two other CSC board members.

 

5)    At no times will male and female athletes be in the same room together unless a coach or chaperone is in the room or has approved situation. This applies to CSC members or members of any other team.

 

6)    No team meetings may be missed. Be punctual to all meetings and warm-up times.

 

7)    No team member may be out of their room after the assigned bed time. Permission must be obtained from the coach to leave the room past this time.

 

8)    Any damages or thievery incurred at a motel will be at the expense of the swimmers assigned to that room, and further disciplinary action will be taken. No loud or boisterous behavior will be tolerated in the hallways or public areas, and such behavior should be kept to a minimum in your rooms. Make all long distance calls on a credit card or collect

 

9)    All team members will be polite in restaurants. Leave a 15% tip. If there has been a problem with the service, see the coach.
