a) First and foremost; athlete safety and accountability are factors when thinking about team travel and overnight hotel stay.
b) Athletes staying with parents: Once we reach curfew, athletes are to be in the room and under the supervision of their parents. There can be no exception to this. Any scenario other than this places the coaching staff and Sacramento Water Polo in an unacceptable situation.
c) The coaching staff has the sole responsibility of assigning team rooms and supervising those team rooms. Athletes will not switch team rooms because they want to room with their best friend on the team.
d) Curfew will be set for a reasonable hour and enforced by the coaching staff. Athletes breaking curfew will face disciplinary action once we return to Sacramento. The athlete may be sent home immediately if deemed necessary and appropriate.
e) No fraternization between genders inside hotel rooms. Any social visiting between genders will take place in the hallway outside the hotel room - - or in the hotel lobby. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule.
f) No congregating of large groups inside a single hotel room unless there is a team meeting being held or a special circumstance has been approved by the coaching staff.
g) No “field trips”. If an athlete leaves the hotel in order to go get some food, something to drink, etc. he must have the permission of the coaching staff and he must travel with a minimum of three teammates.
h) The hotel pool / jacuzzi are always off-limits to athletes.
