Common use of Schoolwork Clause in Contracts

Schoolwork. Part of the commitment of playing for FC Batavia is a commitment to being able to handle all the obligations that a student has in his or her daily life. It is expected that all players be prepared to play soccer at games and practices. This demands that players do their best in school and budget their time in order to fulfill their obligations as students. Players who are not doing their best in school and/or are not meeting their homework obligations are jeopardizing their position on their team and letting their teammates down. PLAYING “UP” or “ON LOAN” With respect to players temporarily playing for another FC Batavia team, all teams must follow the rules of the leagues in which they play. There are 2 circumstances in which you may be asked to play for another FC Batavia team. Circumstance #1 is where you are being asked to play for either an older team or another team within your age group that plays at higher level. FC Batavia encourages the development of players and will encourage players that exhibit exemplary skills to challenge themselves through competition. This decision is always based on the recommendation of the coach and Director of Coaching and is decided upon in collaboration with the player and parents within Arizona Soccer Association guidelines. Circumstance #2 is where you may be asked to play for another team within the club in order to ensure that the team has sufficient numbers for a game or tournament. You are responsible for knowing what is going on with your team. There are times when changes are made (sometimes last minute) to practice and/or game dates, times and/or locations. Most teams communicate primarily via TeamSnap and e-mail, so you must check these daily. If you are unable to attend a practice or game (or if you plan to arrive late or leave early), you must notify your coach and/or manager as early as possible.
