PLEASE READ IMPORTANT TEAM INFORMATION BELOW AND KEEP A COPY OF THIS ROSTER AS A MEANS TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR TEAM!

Team Captains: each singles team should elect a captain. The captain is responsible for:
i) communicating with the captain of the opposing teams
ii) confirming the score with the other team at the end of the game
iii) reporting the score to the ESSC the following day by logging on at: http://www.edmontonsportsclub.com/PDB/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fpdb%2fScoreEntryleague.aspx and entering username: vtc, password: vtcreport
iii) communicating with the ESSC when/if your team is having trouble fielding a full team
iv) assist with finding subs when necessary
v) ensuring the team has equipment for each game

Sportsmanship: Please ensure your team is familiar with the sportsmanship policy including the section pertaining to spirit points. The policy can be found here: http://www.edmontonsportsclub.com/leagues/sportsmanship.shtml If you encounter a sportsmanship problem at one of your games, please submit your feedback here: http://www.edmontonsportsclub.com/register/sportsmanship.php

Schedules: Schedules will be posted no later than 11:00pm two days prior to the day your league starts.

Team Packs:
Fall/Winter seasons: one member of each team is given a pack, including sponsor bar cards, at the Players Meeting.
Spring season: this season does not include Players Meetings. However, because sponsor bar cards are new, one member of each team will be mailed a team pack. If your team has not received theirs within the first 2 weeks of the season, please email: info@edmontonsportsclub.com
Summer season: this season does not include Players Meetings nor does it require new sponsor bar cards. Therefore, each team is responsible for requesting cards online via this link: http://www.edmontonsportsclub.com/register/sponsor-bar-cards.php

Subs:
Game substitutions: All players get equal opportunity to play – no matter what the girl:guy ratio is. For example: if your team has 9 females and only 3 males, the 3 males do not play the entire game leaving the girls to sub in for each other. All players will sub in to ensure that each player receives equal play time.

Roster substitutions: singles teams cannot bring out friends unless they are a direct replacement of a registered player. The original size of your roster (8, 10, 12 players etc), is the MAXIMUM number of players permitted at each game. If you know in advance that you will be unable to attend a game, please let your teammates know. Help your team avoid defaulting by finding yourself a sub. Anyone is eligible to sub so long as they are over 18 and have completed an online waiver. The ESSC can provide sub lists when requested. Call 780-429-4263 to get a sub list.

Skill Levels: Singles teams will have a variety of skill levels:

Skilled Players: Be patient, encouraging and kind. Do not over-coach. Teach the basic rules only if a beginner wants to know more. Too much coaching is perceived as negative feedback and not helpful. Positive encouragement is the best coaching tactic!

Beginners: Be positive and make a commitment to yourself and your team to learn the basic skills and gain a full understanding of the rules as soon as you can! If you are unsure about something, just ask the more experienced players on your team! Be receptive to feedback that is offered from teammates.

Facility Policy: Any team or player who causes the ESSC to receive a complaint from a facility will be subject to a minimum $100 fine and possible league suspensions and/or ejections. To review the full policy, click here: http://www.edmontonsportsclub.com/leagues/player-info.shtml#Locations

Standings: standings are updated on a regular basis. If you notice an issue with your standings, please let us know right away – do not wait until playoffs!

Jerseys: depending on the sport, you may be required to bring a light and a dark shirt to each game; this will be specified in the rules for your sport. Although jerseys are not required, you may wish to have them made. If so, click here. If you’d like to utilize the ESSC’s graphic design services, click here.
