Waivers for Coaches and Parents
Coaches must distribute and review the "USTA Code of Conduct" with parents before the season and at each match intro. See attached to send to your parents.
I now need all coaches to read and sign the "JTT Coaches Agreement" per attached before you can officially start your season with your team. Sign and email it back to me.
Confidence Levels Recap
-
Low Confidence: These players can play anywhere the coach deems based on their play
-
Medium Confidence: Only one player with a Medium confidence can be moved who is within 2 rating band points. So a 34 can play on a Level 7 team since they are within 2 rating points of the 36 cutoff.
-
High Confidence: Only one player with a High confidence can be moved who is within 1 rating band point. So a 31 can play on a Level 6 team since they are within 1 rating point of the 32 cutoff.
-
We will go on the singles WTN of all players. Not Doubles
No-Shows
1st offense → Report to league coordinator (Conan). 2nd offense → Dismissal for the season.
