What You Should Know

 

Practice/Game Fields - The practice/game field is reserved for coaches, participants and instructors only. It is asked that parents, friends and siblings remain off the fields unless specifically requested to be help by a coach. Practice time is limited, so it is important that coaches have the opportunity to make the best use of the time allotted. If you must speak to a coach, please contact them before or after practice. Siblings should not be left at the field without adult supervision and Studewood Cobras cannot assume responsibility for their safety.

 

Game Day - Coaches will determine how much time before the scheduled game time each player needs to arrive at the game site. The coaches work very hard on determining their game plan and substitution schedules prior to the game. If you are going to miss a game or will be late, notify your coach as soon as possible.

 

Smoking - Many of the athletic venues we will be using are designated “Tobacco Free Environments.” Therefore, it is asked that no one smokes on or around any practice field or game site at which we may participate.

 

Drug & Alcohol Use - Drug and alcohol use is strictly forbidden at games, practices and other associated events and will not be tolerated. Anyone involved in such activities will be asked to leave.

 

Injuries - Any football related injury, regardless of outward appearances, is taken seriously and will be addressed as such. Safety is our primary concern and extra care will be taken in dealing with any reported injury. We would also encourage participants to make known any injury to his/her coach immediately upon occurrence. Participants should not hide injuries in order to facilitate more playing time. Any player sustaining an injury which requires a doctor’s care will be required to provide a medical release from that doctor prior to further participation in games or practices.

 

Complaints - Please contact your team’s coach first and try to resolve the issue. If you cannot resolve it at the level, the complaint must be submitted in writing to the President or Chief Athletic Director. The complainant may appear at the next regular scheduled staff meeting if he/she wishes to do so. A written response will be forwarded after the next regular meeting.
