TRAVEL CODE OF CONDUCT

National level team members travels extensively throughout the year.  BAD has always had excellent experiences on our team trips and the team maintains a good reputation throughout the diving community.  These guidelines have been written down so that all divers know what is expected of them. 

1.  All diving program participants will abide by this Code of Conduct.

2.  On trips requiring overnight lodging, team members are required to stay in rooms or areas assigned by the coaching staff.

3.  If members of the opposite sex are in a room not assigned to them, doors and curtains must remain open at all times.

4. Everyone must be in their assigned room at the designated curfew time and no one except assigned roommates are allowed in the room after that curfew tune.  Lights will be out no later am 1/2 hour after the curfew time.  Appropriate curfews will be established for each trip by the coaching staff.

5.  Use of alcohol or any drugs other than those prescribed by a physician or approved by a parent or coach are not permitted.

6.  Indiscreet, destructive, disrespectful or any other behavior considered to be detrimental to the program will not be tolerated.

7.  When certain meets require traveling, the coaching staff will supervise the travel arrangements and when possible  BAD Divers will travel together.

8.  Certain meets (including New England Championships Regional & Zone Championships) require total participant support.  All participants are required to remain at the pool site while other team members are still in competition (unless given permission to do otherwise).  This helps participant morale and scores, and will benefit you as well as your teammates.

9.  Additional rules may apply at certain meets.

 

If a diver breaks any one of these rules, one of the following actions may be taken.

a.  The diver may be withdrawn from the competition.

b.  The diver may be sent home at his/her expense.

c.  The diver may lose all program privileges including all travel expense monies paid for the trip.

d.  The diver may be suspended from the program for a length of time depending on the severity      of the infraction.

e.  The diver may be dismissed from the program.

PARENTS/GUARDIANS PLEASE NOTE

The coaching staff will make every effort to see that the diving program participants are properly chaperoned at all meets.  The burden however must lie with both the parent and diver as well as the staff.  We advise that all parents take the time to review the BAD Travel Code of Conduct with their divers and to fully explain the sensitivity and responsibilities that go along with overnight travel.
