Dear Players,

Following the series of meetings we had in late spring and early summer, which many of the players attended, we have come to the conclusion that a Terms of Commitment needs to be spelled out for those playing within our club. In particular, the men’s Sunday team.

We need you to remember that Club Marin is one club with many teams, and the Sunday team is an example for all to follow. We need to responsible adults, and care for those who stand by you on and off the field whether it is a 40 year old, or one of our 11 year olds. This club will grow successful, but much of this depends upon our Sunday team, its example.

At the meetings, the idea of a Terms of Commitment was stressed by several Sunday players, who wish to make this the best possible team in the areas of communication, commitment, and performance.

If you are serious about this team, then your teammates and the staff of Club Marin expect the following:

  • Attend at least one practice a week.
    -If you are unable to attend you must respond with a reason for not attending.
    -if you do not communicate, and do not show a $10 fine will be administrated to the “Sunday team fund” paid by you.

  • Attend all games
    -If you are unable to attend you must communicate with a reasonable reason for not attending at least 5 days in advance in the event we will need to sign another player. -if you do not call, and do not show a $25 fine will be administrated to the “team fund paid by you. “Extraordinary circumstances will be taken into account.
    -if there is poor communication for a third time, you will be dropped from the team.

  • Have your dues paid for to have membership to the club.-These were the player’s ideas. They believed it will further their commitment to the team.
    -This can be paid in full by the player, or you can attain three boosters at a total of $25 minimum per booster. The players felt this was extremely reasonable because everyone has parents, friends, and loved ones who are working professionals. In return boosters will be privy to our events and games. This will enable them to share in the fun and growth of our organization..

These three things are not much to ask. They take Communication, Commitment, and simply playing the game, because we are not concerned about your abilities to perform. We only need you there for it to work.
