TOP HOCKEY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Concussion Policy
We are committed to maintaining the health, well-being, and safety of all our participants. Safety is a top priority for those participating in any sport, and TOP Sports recognizes the increased awareness of concussions and their potential long‐term effects. This policy is intended to be a tool to assist in proper management of those who have a concussion or are suspected of having a concussion.
If a player is suspected of having a concussion;
<ul>
<li>They will be removed from play immediately, regardless of whether the concussion occurred during play or not. The player will not be permitted to return to play that day.</li>
<li>If there are doubts, TOP Sports' staff will err on the side of caution and assume that a concussion has occurred.</li>
<li>The player will be referred to a physician for diagnosis as soon as possible.</li>
<li>Once a player is diagnosed with a concussion or is experiencing "concussion-like symptoms", they will not be permitted to return to play or practice until all of the Return-to-Play requirements are met.</li>
</ul>
Return-To-Play Policy
Following a diagnosed concussion, all TOP Sports' participants will be forbidden to participate in ANY sporting activities unless a Return-to-Play form has been signed by a medical doctor and submitted to the program director for review. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Social Media Policy
It is the position of TOP Sports that the Code of Conduct governs all social media forums, and all members of the TOP Sports family must continue to abide by the Code of Conduct when participating in social media exchanges.
It is the policy of TOP Sports that harassment and bullying in any form will not be tolerated and be subject to disciplinary action. All TOP athletes must refrain from such action and follow the Code of Conduct guidelines to report such incidents. Social Media forums have extended the definition of such infractions and have created a new term known as "cyberbullying". Online harassment, abuse and/or bullying are examples of cyberbullying and TOP Sports has a zero-tolerance policy for these types of behaviour.
It is incumbent on all TOP Sports members to adhere to the Code of Conduct in all situations, including during the use of all Social Media forums and technology. Otherwise, the appropriate measures will be taken, and Code of Conduct guidelines will be followed to address such infractions.&nbsp;
Academy Team Refund Policy
Due to limited roster spots, scheduling challenges, and the commitment of significant resources toward Academy teams, a non-refundable deposit is due to secure your child's spot on an Academy team.
Once you've registered for an Academy team and the non-refundable payment is paid, the balance of registration fees will be paid in installments before the start of the season. The installment dates will be outlined via TeamSnap upon registration. Once registration fees are paid in full they cannot be credited, transferred, or changed.
If you wish to cancel your registration, the refund deadline for TOP Hockey is June 1st.
If a child withdraws from the program after the refund deadline date, no refunds or credits will be provided. Additionally, no refunds or credits will be provided for any schedule conflicts, missed practices, missed games, or missed tournaments.
In the event of a medical issue or injury preventing participation, a doctor&rsquo;s note must provided confirming that the child is unable to participate in sports for at least 50% of the season, and a pro-rated credit will be provided.&nbsp;
Code of Conduct and Discipline &ndash; Players
We are committed to maintaining an inclusive and safe environment for all players, coaches, referees, volunteers, and parents. Following our club Code of Conduct, TOP Sports' follows a very rigid "3-strike" discipline policy for all club teams, activities, and programs.
In the event of a player acting in a way that breaches the TOP Sports' Code of Conduct, the discipline policy is as follows:&nbsp;
Strike 1: Verbal Warning
<ul>
<li>During a first incident, coaches will give a verbal warning to the player and ensure that they understand i) why they were given a verbal warning, and ii) what behaviour will constitute a second strike.</li>
</ul>
Strike 2: Temporary Removal from Practice/Game/Event
<ul>
<li>During a second incident, the player will be temporarily removed from the practice or game and be asked to sit out for a discretionary period of time. The senior coach on the ice/field has the sole discretion to determine how long that player will sit out.</li>
</ul>
Strike 3: Permanent Removal from Practice/Game
<ul>
<li>During a third incident, the player will be permanently removed from the practice or game on that day, and will be asked to leave the ice or field for the remainder of practice or game. In addition, the Head Coach or Program Director will arrange to have a direct conversation with the players' parents regarding the incidents, and further discipline may be levied.</li>
</ul>
In the unfortunate event that a player's behaviour becomes a clear distraction to their teammates or other members, an in-person meeting will be arranged with the player, their parents, the head coach of the team/program, and the Technical Director.
Possible disciplinary action as a result of this situation may include the following.
<ul>
<li>Suspension from the team or program for an appropriate amount of time with no refund.</li>
<li>Removal from the team or program with no refund.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
TOP Academy team players will ALWAYS be held to a high standard of respect and behaviour. By playing for a TOP Academy team, athletes commit to always doing the following:
<ul>
<li>Being disciplined and focused.</li>
<li>Work as hard as possible.</li>
<li>Have a good attitude &amp; be a good teammate.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, all TOP Academy athletes are expected to:
<ul>
<li>Treat themselves, their families, their teammates, their coaches, and their community with the utmost respect and integrity at all times.</li>
<li>Lead by example and commit to helping others.</li>
<li>Be resilient, and never, ever, give up.</li>
</ul>
Regardless of skill level, opportunity, or circumstance, the above attributes can be achieved no matter what. If our athletes can give us these things, we will take care of the rest.&nbsp;
Code of Conduct and Discipline &ndash; Parents
TOP Sports' is committed to providing a safe, positive, and respectful sport environment for all parents, players, coaches, and referees.
Any parent, player, or coach that violates the terms set forth in the Code of Conduct or behaves in an inappropriate manner, will be instructed to leave the rink immediately and may be subject to immediate dismissal from the TOP Hockey program without warning, without refund.
These terms include, but are not limited to:
<ul>
<li>Displays of aggressive or rude behaviour.</li>
<li>Use of abusive or aggressive language.</li>
<li>Displays of offensive, racist, sexist, or abusive language or actions.</li>
<li>Any harassment, bullying, or verbal abuse of any kind.</li>
<li>Any physical abuse of any kind.</li>
</ul>
Youth sports should be focused on the enjoyment and improvement of all players, not providing an outlet for the ego of parents. Any behaviour contrary to this belief will be dealt with quickly and harshly. Please note the above terms are subject to a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY, and warnings will not be issued.&nbsp;
