In order for a Camper to participate in any camp of the DPSEF, it is the responsibility of his or her parents to meet the following requirements:
● Review, understand, sign, and abide by the Code of Conduct.
DPSEF athletes will show respect for DPSEF employees, facilities, property, operating procedures, and the public. DPSEF athletes will exhibit courtesy and good manners, responsible behavior, and mature conduct and not use profane or abusive language. Our members will demonstrate their respect for their sport and others by attending awards ceremonies and receptions whenever appropriate.
This Code of Conduct parallels the USSA Code of Conduct and applies to all athletes, coaches, parents, and officials of the Diamond Peak Ski Team. Courteous, respectful, responsible, ethical, and sportsmanlike conduct is always expected from all team members.
Code of Conduct violations include, but are not limited to:
● Unsafe behavior could threaten the safety of anyone. Example: Reckless, disruptive, or unsafe behavior.
● Willful defiance - continued backtalk to coaches, the general public, and volunteers.
● Profanity in any form at any time.
● Illegal use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
DPST Discipline Plan
1st Violation: Verbal warnings may be given prior to written violations to provide time for voluntary corrective action. If unsuccessful, a written warning detailing the problem and the next step of action to be taken will be sent to parents. Campers can return to the team activities only after the Lead coach and parents communicate, and the written warning is signed by parents and returned to the Lead coach.
2nd Violation: Written notice of continuing problem sent to parents and simultaneously Lead coach will be suspended from all team activities until the Lead coach, athlete, and parent meet, or at minimum, coach and parent discuss a solution to a continuing problem.
3rd Violation: Indefinite suspension from team activities and return of loaned equipment. The lead coach and parent communicate and determine the final action plan for the athlete, including whether or not the camper will continue to be a member of the Diamond Peak Ski Education Foundation. If an athlete is removed from the team, registration fees will not be refunded.
Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the penalty for the first violation may be escalated by the Program Director or the Board of Directors to either 2nd or 3rd violation consequences.
Actions taken on the policies of the Diamond Peak Ski Education Foundation are subject to lead coaches’ discretion and can be appealed to by parents and athletes. An appeal requires a meeting with the involved lead coach, team manager, parent, and athlete.
I have read and understood the DPSEF Code of Conduct. I acknowledge receipt of a copy of the above and agree to abide by the rules and policies set forth.
