Handbook - Dulwich College Shanghai

Dulwich College Shanghai Travelling Team Code
1. I understand it is a privilege to represent the College as an athlete on and off the field and I agree
to do so in the best manner possible. I will display good sportsmanship at all times and behave in
an appropriate manner.
2. My academic work must come first. I will plan my time carefully. When I miss classes due to travel,
I will make sure my teachers have been notified in advance and arrange to make-up work missed.
3. If any of my teachers feels that my academic standing will be harmed due to sports travel, they
may recommend to the Director of Sports that I not be permitted to miss class.
4. I will attend all scheduled practices and games. I will make every effort to schedule appointments
outside of scheduled practice times. If I must miss a scheduled practice or game, I will personally
notify my coach in a timely manner.
5. I understand that alcohol consumption and the use of tobacco have an adverse affect on
performance, and that drinking or smoking at the following times:
- while on away trips-while representing DCS at any athletic event
- while visiting teams are in Shanghai & during my hosting responsibilities
will result in suspension from the team for the remainder of the season and that further violations
will result in suspension from all teams for the academic year.
6. I understand that there are certain requirements that include:
- Housing visiting athletes during “host weekends” and tournaments (ACAMIS)
- Assisting in the set up of equipment, scoring when required and clearing up
7. I agree to abide by any curfews which are set. I understand that the curfew will be no later than
10.00pm when teams are visiting DCS and when we are being hosted in ACAMIS tournaments,
and I will respect any earlier curfew that hosting parents, including my own, may set.
8. I understand that violation of this code may lead to suspension or expulsion from the team.
9. I understand that if I do not return items of uniform not intended for me to keep that I will be
charged for their replacement.
10. I understand that travelling teams must pay for their own flight and travel insurance when
competing at events such as ACAMIS and by signing this form I am making myself available
for selection to such travelling teams
