Red, White & Blue Teams' Policy
AFD TEAM (RED, WHITE & BLUE) POLICY FOR PARTICIPATION
Below is a short list of important details that, when followed, will help create the most effective coaching and learning environment.
· Divers/families in the Red, White & Blue Teams must commit to a “seasonal” membership contract. This is a training process that is designed to promote diver readiness at the National/International level. By enrolling in AFD Red, White & Blue Teams, you will be financially obligated to pay the total balance of your child(s) training fees as scheduled for the competitive USA/AAU season (September-August).
· All payments are due in full by the 1st week of the month. All payments will be set up for automatic billing by Credit Card.
· Once a new month has started, any diver not paid in full or not on a payment schedule MAY NOT PARTICIPATE UNTIL PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
· All payments are final. Only in the event of long term injury or unforeseen family emergency, will there be a fee adjustment. Please make requests for fee adjustment in writing or e-mail following a verbal explanation (NOT during a practice please).
· Participating in a diving camp without being accompanied by an official coach of American Flyers Diving is prohibited unless an agreement has been made with AFD prior to participating.
· Competing in scheduled Ohio Diving League (ODL) meets & USA/AAU sanctioned competitions is mandatory (per diver readiness determined by the coach).
· There is a $400 annual membership fee to be part of the Red, White & Blue Teams. This fee includes all coach’s fees & expenses for ODL/USA/AAU meets. It also includes entry fees for ODL meets only. Families must pay any fees associated with meet entry & registration for USA & AAU meets.
· Parents and/or family members are more than welcome to stay & watch their children from the bleachers unless they are volunteering on the pool deck during practices.
· Athletes and parents must make arrangements for transportation. Divers must be on time for practices (minimum 10-15 minutes early). Make sure divers pick up is 15 minutes early. AFD coach(es) can provide transportation given prior notice.
I have read the above and fully understand these expectations as a parent or athlete participating with the American Flyers Diving Club program.
