2. Introduction
On behalf of the executive of the Northern Chill Volleyball Club (NCVC), we would like to to officially thank you for choosing the Chill family, Northern Ontario's best elite volleyball club. In our thirteenth year of existence, we are continually striving in establishing the best possible elite volleyball experience available to young female athletes. The team that your child is currently auditioning for represents the best athletes of that particular age group in the Sudbury Region. The magnitude of this accomplishment should not be ignored, considering the number of athletes that participate in the sport of volleyball in the Sudbury area and Northern Ontario.

Ontario Volleyball will announce tournament locations at a later date. We will once again be submitting bids to host events.

10. Competition Conflicts
There are bound to be competition conflicts between various schedules. The Chill policy on this matter is that in the event of a conflict between a Chill event, and another activity, the decision is left to the athlete and her parents. We will not encourage, nor discourage an athlete from choosing Chill over another activity. With this, as a club, we have two requests:
Firstly, in the event that the athlete may make the decision to attend another activity over a Chill competition, is that they provide their respective coaches with a minimum 2 weeks notice, in order for the coaches to structure their practice sessions accordingly leading up to the competition.
Secondly, and most importantly, it is imperative that it is communicated to the organizers of your other activities the reasons for you not attending those events. In addition, this should be done in a timely manner

11. Playing Time
The NCVC is a competitive club. The goal of each of the coaching staffs will be to develop each athlete in all aspects of volleyball both in practice and competitive setting.
This goal, however, must be balanced with the objective of realizing success in competitive environments such as tournaments. Each member of the team will receive some allotment of court time over the course of the season, but equal distribution of playing time should not be expected.
The exception is at divisions where the Fair Play Rule is in effect for competitions. (As per Volleyball Canada and Ontario Volleyball Guidelines)

12. Parent Expectations
Parents play a vital role in the success of our organization. Their roles include, but are not limited to:
Volunteering
Ensuring Nutritional needs of athletes are met in accordance with club guidelines
Punctuality and attendance
In order to achieve one’s individual potential, attendance at all training sessions are critical. In addition, being on time for those sessions are of equal importance.
Coach and athlete support
Payment of fees in a timely manner
Conformity to Parent Code of Conduct

13. Respect in Sport
Respect in Sport is an accessible, online resource in the prevention of bullying, abuse, harassment, and discrimination (BAHD). The program’s mission is to empower participants to recognize signs of BAHD and eliminate it from our sport, through a global culture of respect. Respect in Sport provides guardians with information on how to evaluate and understand:
Parental influence over a child
Coach and leader roles in sport
Role of the parent and coach in ensuring a child’s enjoyment of a sport
Protecting your child when outside of your immediate control
Losing perspective
Injury management
Misplaced enthusiasm
The effects of guilt on your child
Treatment of opposing players, coaches, officials
Concussion awareness and Return to Play guidelines
Long-Term Player Development model
Respect In Sport certification is achieved through a 60-minute online program that can be completed anywhere with internet access. The cost of the program is $12 (see below for a special OVA promotion)

14. Respect in Sport
As an incentive for supporting the program, the OVA will pay $6 per certified parent/guardian to the affiliated OVA club to support club activities if completed by November 1, 2017.*
*must be new OVA certificate, not transferred certificate from another sport.
As an added incentive, and in appreciation for each parent/guardian helping to make the OVA one of the top Provincial Sport Organizations in Canada, we will be running a Respect In Sport contest.
Every team roster that is fully certified with Respect In Sport by February 1, 2018 will be entered into a draw to win:
1st Prize – FREE team entry into Ontario Championships
2nd Prize – reserved private lounge for one weekend at Ontario Championships
