INFORMATION FOR TRAVEL TEAMS
For parents who have
had a player on a travel team before, most of this is familiar; however, for
clarity and for the sake of the new parents and players, here is a list of
things to remember:
Finances
1. The association will pay for the State Tournament and an additional number
of tournament entry fees that depends upon your team. Your coach, manager and
scheduler know how many association-paid tournaments your team is entitled
to. Any additional entry or ice fees must be paid by the team.
2. When travel involves an overnight stay, one parent will be designated as
the trip coordinator. The trip coordinator will make hotel reservations after
consulting with the team and will get some information about restaurants in
the area. Parents are responsible for their own hotel and meal bills and the
appropriate share of the hotel bill for rooms occupied by the players (“team
rooms”). If your player stays with you, and not in a team room, you are not
responsible for any part of the team room bill. The coordinator will not book
team rooms unless the parents indicate a willingness to pay for them. Usually
we put 3 or 4 players in a team room.
3. We will all participate in the association's fundraising activity. A team
parent will have to volunteer to coordinate any additional fundraising
activity.
4. TGHA-owned equipment should be returned to the manager after the season.
Home Game Responsibilities
1. At every home game players should arrive one hour
before the game. This allows time for a proper warm-up before getting
dressed.
2. The manager will secure a locker room and give the key to the team
captain, who will ensure that the locker room is properly cleaned before
returning the key to the manager. All players are responsible for maintaining
a clean locker room.
3. Parent volunteers are needed at each home game to perform the following
jobs: timekeeper, scorekeeper, penalty box doors. The manager will ask for
volunteers. If you know how to do one of these jobs, or want to learn, please
let the manager know.
Tournament and Away Game Responsibilities and Procedures
1. Arrive at away games and tournaments at least one hour before game time.
2. Players are assumed to be traveling to and from away games and tournaments
with their own parents unless the coach or the manager has been informed in
advance.
3. The parents of players traveling alone must inform the coach or manager of
the name of the parent with whom the unaccompanied player is traveling to and
from the tournament and the games. If the player is traveling alone and is
driving herself, we need to know that, also.
4. Players may not change their travel arrangements unless the parents
involved inform either the coach or manager.
5. For overnight trips, once players have been assigned to hotel rooms, they
may not change assignments without either the coach or manager’s permission.
6. If neither the coach nor manager will be at the team hotel on a given day,
one of them will designate a parent, from among those parents traveling with
the team, to act as the manager for the period.
7. Parents are asked to discuss these procedures with their players to ensure
that they are understood and obeyed.
