Tournament Schedule:

Players Moving Between Teams: On occasion due to injury or lack of players, an athlete may be asked to be participate with another team on temporary basis. Movement will occur only after discussion with parent and player.

For all tournaments, Athletes are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from tournaments. Coaches will designate the meeting location and time for each tournament.

Officiating: Is a shared responsibility of the entire team. All Alii athletes are required to help with line judging, score keeping and down officiating. All officiating assignments must be completed before leaving the gym.

Playing Time: Playing time is very important to us. Coaches will do their best to provide players with a fair amount of playing time. Equal playing time can be difficult to do because of specific positions.

Grievance Procedure: At Alii we encourage the athlete to talk to the coach when she has a problem about her playing time, or she is unclear about what the coach expects from her either in practice or in competition. The appropriate attitude is for the athlete to ask the coach what she needs to do to get more opportunities to play matches.

When parents have a problem that is specific to their own athlete, we encourage them to first talk to the coach. 24 hour “cool off” is necessary.
