ERMS+Tennis+Team+Player+and+Parent-Guardian+Expectations+and+Responsibilities

Expectations and Responsibilities include:
 * ** $30.00 tennis fee ** . This fee pays for their tennis shirt (players can wear their shirt to school anytime!), practice balls, etc.
 * Donating at least two new **unopened** cans of tennis balls. These need to be given to me so I can distribute them at the games.
 * Players are required to show good sportsmanship during all practices and matches. Failure to do so may lead to player(s) being terminated from the team.
 * Players are required to wear a tennis uniform consisting of a shirt and shorts. Shirts cannot be ordered until fees are collected from all players. Girl uniforms include Soffe shorts, or similar, in school colors of navy blue or orange. Boy uniforms include basketball style shorts in school colors of navy blue or orange. I may be able to order complete uniforms consisting of shirts and shorts made with moisture wicking material that have ERMS logos on them. This may require a small increase of fees if parents/guardians and players agree to this style of uniform.
 * Practices will be held Monday through Thursday, and occasionally on Fridays if needed, when a match is not scheduled, from 3:00-4:30 P.M. Players **__must__** be at every practice if they are to play in a match. Please notify me ahead of time if a player has to be absent for any reason. Practices may be shortened due to heat conditions.
 * Parents/Guardians are responsible for transportation of their child to and from all practices and games. It is essential that all players are picked up promptly after practices and games and arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time of the games. Players who cannot find reliable transportation may be cut from the team. **__Coaches cannot transport to players to matches__**. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to meet the other Parents/Guardians and arrange carpooling if necessary.
 * Parents/Guardians are encouraged to donate snacks and drinks for the players.
 * Parents/Guardians are encouraged to attend and watch the matches. Parents/Guardians cannot “coach” or talk to the players during a match. Doing so can cause them to forfeit the match. Parents/Guardians are also required to show goods sportsmanship while attending matches.
