VOLLEYBALL ALBERTA POLICIES & PROCEDURES
As an individual affiliated with Volleyball Alberta for the 2023-2024 Season (September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024), you will agree to adhere to and abide by Volleyball Alberta’s policies and procedures, which include:
ATHLETE CODE OF CONDUCT
Participate in volleyball club activities alcohol and drug free
Respect everyone involved in your volleyball experience: parents, coaches, teammates, officials, and opponents; because without them, there wouldn’t be a game
Never use violence or bad language, nor harass players, coaches, officials, or other spectators (express disapproval in an appropriate manner to the proper officials and Volleyball Alberta contacts)
Remember that coaches and officials are there to help you – accept their decisions and appreciate the challenges of their position
Remember that winning isn’t everything, and to control your temper when things aren’t going your way – having fun, improving skills, helping your teammates become better players, and doing your best are more important than winning games
Respect the facilities that you use with your team: gymnasiums, schools, restaurants, hotels, and washrooms – remember to put all your garbage in the trash bins and not use volleyballs in school hallways and hotel rooms
Remember to be a team player, because volleyball is a true team sport
