TRENT UNIVERSITY CAMPUS REC HOCKEY CAPTAIN’S PACKAGE 2013-2014 Role & Responsibilities • Your positive leadership will directly affect’s your teams behaviour - this determines whether or not your bond is returned. Our goal is to return 100% of performance bonds. • Ensure that your team is informed of the schedule for the season and knows where it is posted (www.trentu.ca/athletics/campusrec). • Ensure the eligibility of all players. Trent Athletics reserves the right to remove a player from any division who is playing in the wrong league (ie., playing ability). Players may play in either the REC league or the COMP. league (considered ineligible if playing in both). • Inform all players that they must bring their Student ID Card to all of the games. • Captains are responsible for checking their team roster. Players will only be listed on the roster after they have registered for the league, attended a Hockey Information Session and are listed on the team list. • One team only per change room. • Ensure that all team players are familiar with the rules (both C.H.A. and Trent Campus Rec rules). Make sure that your team’s first priority is to have fun through participation and healthy competition. • Ensure that your team has sweaters that are similarly coloured and numbered. All teams must now have, identified one Captain and two Assistant Captains. They must be identified with permanent letters (not tape). There is to be no switching of jerseys between players. • Where shirt colour conflicts exist, the home team must wear an alternate shirt colour. • For the Competitive league, the first team listed on the schedule is “home” and must provide a scorer/timer. Failure to do so results in loss of time and a $25 loss of bond. • Communicate suggestions, ideas, and concerns directly to the Convenor and/or the Campus Rec Coordinator. Listen to your teammate’s ideas and share them. • The Captain will act as the representative for any player during a suspension meeting. • Give everyone an equal chance to play. • Resolve conflicts calmly and maturely. You are the leader and role model for your team. • Provide a Spirit Score at the end of each game to the convenor. 1 • Any abuse of officials will not be tolerated. Both of our hockey leagues are non-contact. You will be severely penalized for fighting or any intent to injure incidents. We review all major penalties and often increase the penalty if warranted. There will be a $25 loss of bond for each player who receives a second abuse of official offense. • Notify your Convenor and the Campus Rec Coordinator by email and phone if your team must forfeit a game (a min. of 48 hours needed) in order to avoid the loss of your performance bond. • Assist the Convenor with weekly attendance and student identification checks if asked so that playing time is not wasted. • Assist the Convenor with First Aid emergencies as requested. • Encourage safe behaviour amongst your team and lead your team by role modeling positive behaviour. Ensure that everyone on your team has had a chance to play. Please Note: The City of Peterborough does not close the arenas during winter storms. Unless the Department of Athletics and Recreation cancels the league play, games go on. It is up to the individual to decide whether or not to play. Performance Bond Information Participation in all sports requires payment of a team performance bond. Performance bonds are returned if these conditions are met: • • • No defaults No suspensions No harassment of officials or other players • • • No ineligible players No contravention of Fair Play Policy Attendance at the Captain’s Meeting Bonds will be returned to designate by April 30, 2013. Fair Play Principles Fair play governs all of our Campus Rec programs and activities, including Hockey. Fair Play is a philosophy, an attitude, a practice, and ultimately a way of life promoting fairness, integrity, and respect in sport. √ √ √ √ √ √ Respect the rules Respect the officials and their decisions Respect your opponent Give everyone an equal chance to play Maintain self control at all times Never resort to or permit violence or abuse in any form Any athlete who contravenes the Fair Play Policy may receive a suspension, lose their team bond, or lose their privilege of playing in Campus Recreation at Trent. Please help to promote this policy and appropriate behaviour amongst your hockey team. 2 We Believe In Respect • The Trent University Athletic Complex is a respectful environment that is strengthened by the diversity of our clients and staff. Visitors are required to treat everyone with respect. • Trent University is committed to responding to and addressing situations of discrimination, inappropriate behaviour, and harassment, in a prompt and serious manner. Policy on Obscene Language • If a participant uses any obscene language directed at, or towards any official (Trent student ref, Convenor, external referee), an automatic ejection is given. • The Athletic Department will then hand out an additional one game suspension (at a minimum depending upon severity and nature of language and body gestures), to enforce that this behaviour will not be tolerated. Alcohol/Drug Policy • The consumption of alcohol in public places and during Campus Rec programs is prohibited. • Do not allow players on the bench who are under the influence of illegal drugs and/or alcohol. • The City of Peterborough does not permit smoking or alcohol in the dressing rooms. Any contravention to this policy will result in your team being severely penalized. • Any player deemed under the influence will be asked to leave the game by the officials and convenor. It is up to the team captain to prevent this from occurring. Stay safe, play sober. Policy on Addressing the Officials • As Trent is a very multi-cultural community, speaking with team members in your native tongue, during Campus Recreation programs is permitted. • When addressing a game official, all participants must speak English. • If any participant is addressing an official in any manner that is aggressive or seems derogatory or while yelling at the official in another language - the participant will be removed from the game for as long as it takes to resolve the situation. • Please respect our officials and assist us in keeping your programs running smoothly. Harassment There is a growing trend to harass officials and convenors in all sport levels. As leaders in sport at the university level, it is our responsibility to provide a positive influence in the development of leaders and role models. Harassment of officials includes: • • • • • • The use of abusive or foul language and/or direct verbal or non-verbal insults Continuing to argue a ‘call’ or the failure to make a ‘call’ by an official Invading an officials space, even when instructed to back off Physical abuse of an official Attempting to influence, intimidate or manipulate the officials Post-game complaining about the officials - undermining their credibility. 3 The Department of Athletics and Recreation observes a Zero Tolerance Policy for abusive behaviour toward officials, convenors and participants fighting or intent to injure incidents.
