Code of Conduct and Policy for all parents and athletes to follow while attending our program:
Polices:
Multiple Children Discount: If a parent registers multiple (3 or more) children into the program, the athlete entering the program with the lowest price will receive free admission to the program.
No Parents In Practices: No parents are aloud inside of practices. Parents are admitted to watch outside the gym doors, but we do not permit parents inside the gym as it is a distraction to athletes.
Respect: Athletes joining the program must respect the basketball environment. This means that athletes must always respect coaches, fellow athletes, as well as the gymnasium and equipment.
Official Code of Conduct:
Athletes and parents must respect all gymnasiums and equipment while attending Southern Shore Basketball programs.
Athletes and parents must act in a sportsmanlike manner and not display appearances of violence, through acts of temper or aggression to other athletes, officials, coaches, or spectators while attending Southern Shore Basketball programs.
Athletes must respect and be courteous to all organizers, volunteers, and others assisting in the staging of an event where the athlete represents Southern Shore Basketball.
In all cases, it is the responsibility of the parent/ guardian of an athlete to ensure the athlete is safe and ready for participation until the athlete’s program officially begins. There is no supervision provided by Southern Shore Basketball until the stated commencement times.
In all cases, the parent/ guardian of an athlete is responsible for the athlete on all property/ ground of Southern Shore Basketball facilities if a Southern Shore Basketball program is cancelled.
Parents are not permitted inside the gymnasium of any Southern Shore Basketball programs, with the exception of games or tournaments where permitted by Southern Shore Basketball.
As a member of a Southern Shore Basketball program, parents and athletes are aware that if any of these rules are broken or violated, the athlete can receive suspension or termination from the program if decided by the organization.
Media Rules:
Unless specifically notified, athletes and parents authorize the publication of any photography or video taken for or during this program for the use of promoting or advertising further.
Refunds:
Refunds will only be considered if an athlete has a serious injury (3+ weeks away from the sport) and a valid doctors note is provided.
COVID-19:
In the event that a COVID-19 outbreak in Newfoundland forces our program(s) to shut down for an extended period of time - athletes may receive a partial refund in Southern Shore Basketball credit or the practices will be re-scheduled. This will be the decision of the coach of the program and the Southern Shore Basketball staff.
COVID-19 related refunds will not be in the form of money/ currency, only Southern Shore Basketball credit will be given to athletes that were registered and payed for the programs that were postponed.
The amount of credit that will be given to the athlete will depend on the specific program that the athlete is registered for and the amount of practices that had been completed before the shutdown. The exact amount will be determined by the Southern Shore Basketball club and will be announced at an appropriate time after the shutdown.
Athletes that miss practices due to COVID-19 will not receive any form of refund.
