We promote that players organize and schedule their time to attending training and competitions. Players are expected to take responsibility and show commitment towards training and competition. We understand that confliction may arise from time to time, however it is the players responsibility to communicate conflicts in advance. If a player repeatedly misses training or competition’s, backs out of their commitment’s they may see an impact to their playing time and even possibly their team placement.
