WEST SKI TEAM SKIER/COACH CONTRACT

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

I, ________________, agree to abide by the following rules for the West 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. (See opposite side for a Pre-Arranged Absence Form) Unless it has been prearranged, skiers must complete 10 practices within the first 13 days of the season in order to remain on the team. 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) Skiers will train and compete in a safe manner.

3) Skiers will respect and all people involved in the ski team.

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 are expected to ride the bus to the races, and return on the bus, or with a parent only. Parents must communicate with a coach if their athlete is to leave early.

7) 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 Handbook that is provided online at http://westskiteam.com/
