CHAPERONE COMMITMENT FOR

PARENTS OF CROFTON CHILDREN PARTICIPATING

IN CAC INDOOR SPORTS PROGRAMS

 

 

PURPOSE: Within the last 2 years, there have been numerous instances of vandalism and destruction of property in thc Crofton public schools, some of which have occurred during CAC sponsored practices, games and events. As a result, school officials are requiring the CAC to implement preventive measures as a condition to our continued use of their facilities.

 

The schools have advised the CAC that the next time damage attributable to CAC activities occurs, thc CAC will be denied use of the facility. If that occurs, the indoor winter programs will be TERMINATED since the public schools are the only available locations for our teams. Much of the destruction has been done, not by CAC team members, but by accompanying children often left unattended. Thc coaches alone cannot patrol all locations and prevent such damage.

 

ACTION: As a result of the foregoing the following requirements arc implemented:

 

Ø       UNLESS A PARENT IS ACTIVELY COACHING DURING THE WINTER PROGRAM, THE ACTIVE ASSISTANCE OF PARENTS OF ALL CAC PARTICIPANTS IS NOW MANDATORY IN ORDER FOR THEIR CHILD TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INDOOR SPORT.

 

Ø       ESSENTIALLY, EACH COACH WILL ASSIGN A PARENT AS A CHAPERONE AT ALL PRACTICE SESSIONS, GAMES AND EVENTS. THE ASSIGNED PARENT WILL BE REOUIRED TO PATROL THE AREA. HELPING TO INSURE THAT NO DAMAGE IS DONE TO SCHOOL PROPERTY AND WILL COORDINATE WITH THE SCHOOL CUSTODIAN. PARENTS WELL BE ASSIGNED ON A ROTATING BASIS TO ALL GAMES, PRACTICES AND EVENTS.

 

Ø       PARENTS WHO REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE AS CHAPERONES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO REGISTER THEIR CHILD IN A CAC INDOOR PROGRAM UNLESS THEY CAN PROVIDE A SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE ALTERNATIVE AS DETERMINED BY THE COACH.

 

Ø       DURING THE SEASON, CHILDREN OF PARENTS WHO FAIL TQ MEET ASSIGNED RESPONSIBILITIES MAY BE CUT FROM THE TEAM, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COACH, THE COMMISSIONER, OR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

 

Ø       PARENTS WHO WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE IN INDOOR PROGRAMS ARE REOUIRED TO SIGN THE ATTACHED COMMITMENT AGREEMENT.

 

Ø       IF A CHAPERONE IS NOT PRESENT FOR A CAC INDOOR ACTIVITY, THE COACH AND TEAM IS NOT PERMITTED TO UTILIZE THE FACILITY UNTILL A CHAPERONE IS PRESENT.

 

Ø       TEAM MEMBERS WHO DAMAGE SCHOOL PROPERTY WILL BE CUT FROM THE TEAM, BE SUBJECT TO SUSPENSION FROM ALL CAC EVENTS FOR UP TO I YEAR, AND THEIR PARENTS WILL PAY ALL DAMAGES.

 

 

CHAPERONE COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

1.        In consideration of permitting my child, ________________________________ to participate in CAC sponsored indoor activities, I agree to commit to chaperone duty on a rotating basis for practices, games, or events as assigned by the coach of my child's team.

 

2.        I understand and agree that my duty as chaperone is to patrol a designated area of the building to insure that no damage is done to physical property. I understand that I will immediately report any such damage and the person or persons committing the damage immediately to the school official on duty and to the coach.

 

3.        I understand and agree that should I not be able to perform chaperone duty at the assigned date and time, I will notify the coach before the event and make all reasonable attempts to obtain a substitute.

 

4.        I understand and agree that with the expressed, advance permission of the coach, I may employ a suitable substitute adult for my chaperone duty.

 

5.        I understand and agree that I will not leave any children other than team members, at a practice, game, or event, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian other than the duty chaperone.

 

6.        I understand and agree that when assigned as a duty chaperone, I may be required to meet with a school custodian before and/or after the event to detail condition of premises.

 

7.        I understand and agree I am fully responsible for any and all damages caused by any of my children participating in or attending a CAC event. I will forthwith remit payment for such damages caused by my children to the school official or the CAC

 

8.        I understand and agree that should my child commit any intentional damage to the school physical property, the child will be immediately cut from the team and may not be permitted to participate in any CAC sponsored events for up to one year (time determined from date of incident).
