Wellfleet Recreation
Participant Behavior Contract
Good sportsmanship is a mandate of the Recreation Program. All players are expected to behave in a reasonable and civilized manner while participating in an activity, and to not take away from the enjoyment of participation for their teammates and coaches.
If the behavior of a child, either verbal or physical, disrupts practices and games, the coach or activity leader will contact the Recreation Director or Assistant Director. The Recreation Department will investigate the issue and respond appropriately. If a “Strike” is issued, that stays on record for one year. Any child who receives 3 strikes in a year’s time may be suspended from participation or excused from the program entirely. The Recreation Director or Assistant Director may determine suspension or exclusion from the program is appropriate on the first offense depending on the level of the behavior (ie: hitting and other violent behaviors). In the case of physical violence or egregious language, the participant will be asked to sit out the remainder of the current practice/game and will be ineligible to play in the next scheduled game.
Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to, fighting, hitting, name-calling, bullying, disrespect to others, refusal to follow directions, use of profanity.
By registering for a program, I acknowledge that I have read, understood and agreed to the above policies. I have made behavioral expectations clear to my child.
