SOUTH SKI TEAM SKIER/COACH CONTRACT (2 pages)

To validate a skier's position on the South Ski Team please read and sign this contract.

I, _______________________________________, agree to abide by the following rules for the South Ski Team:

1) Attendance and full participation at all practices and races is expected. Excused absences need to be pre-arranged with a coach in writing two days before a missed practice. One unexcused absence in a week will result in a skier not competing on the A team. Two unexcused absences in a week and a skier does not race. Lateness or leaving early will be counted as a missed day. Be dressed and ready to ski promptly at 2:30. The coach will contact the parent before a skier is removed from the team for attendance issues.  

2) Cooperation with all coaches and school employees.

3) Skiers will respect all team facilities and equipment.

4) While there will always be one or more coaches on the trails, skiers will not be constantly supervised while skiing. Skiers must train with another skier.

5) Squads will be determined by participation, time trials, and race results. Movement among A, B, C, D, teams will occur at the coaches' discretion.

6)  Skiers will train and compete in a safe manner.  

7) Skiers are expected to ride the bus to the races, and return on the bus, or with a parent only. Skiers are expected to stay at the race until the end of the Awards ceremony.  Parents must communicate with a coach if their athlete is to leave early.

8) Varsity letters will be awarded by:  Racing on the State Meet team; Placing in the top 35 overall in five or more races; Participating as a team captain; Participation awards for seniors who have been on the team for four years; Discretionary award based on major contributions to the Team.

9) The team selected for State will be based on results from 7 of the 9(*) races listed below (see page 2).  Results will be based on Super Tour Scoring: 1 - 30pts, 2 – 25 pts, 3 – 21 pts, 4 – 18 pts etc. within the team.  Performance in the later races of the season will be weighed more heavily in a tie-breaking situation.

10) I understand that failure to comply with any of the rules described here or in the Handbook may result in a loss of privileges, awards or my removal from the team. I also acknowledge that I have, or will read, the Team Information that is provided online at http://www.alaska.net/~ski4ever/index.htm
