AASSA Supported Competitions
9. Canadian Age Class, Canada West Championships
Skaters selected to represent Alberta at these Championships will be done so based upon criteria outlined in
the AASSA Competitions Bulletin that is posted on the AASSA web site.
10. Accommodation Guidelines at Competitions
Before leaving on any trip, athletes, coaches, managers and if applicable, parents/guardians must devise
mutually agreeable ground rules for travel to national or regional competitions where the skater is
representing Alberta. The following guidelines may be considered, based on the age of athletes, personnel
to athlete ratio, destination, and physical or developmental capability of athletes;
10.1. Ideally, personnel and athletes should not share accommodations, regardless of the potential cost
savings or other benefits. If sharing a room is unavoidable, be sure that the “two deep” rule is
observed at all times. If only one athlete and one personnel are alone in the room for a brief period of
time, the outer door must be left open.
10.2. Athletes of different genders should not share accommodations (the exception might be spouses who
are teammates).
10.3. Clear boundaries regarding conduct should be defined by AASSA (see Appendix B – AASSA
Member Code of Conduct);
10.4. Specific needs of athletes regarding personal care must be identified and how these needs will be
met must be determined e.g. personal care attendants for athletes’ with a disability and/or specialized
meal or medication needs.
10.5. No one other than the occupants of a given room will be permitted in the room unless the door is left
open for visual access to outsiders.
10.6. No uninvited people will be permitted in the rooms at any time
10.7. In the event that billeting is used for accommodation and meals, ground rules for any trip should be
discussed by personnel, athletes, parents/guardians, and by those who are hosting the visiting
athletes.
10.8. If the skater attending the meet is under the legal age of consent, they and their parents/guardians
will be required to sign a waiver, or a form set by waiver, before AASSA endorses and/or pays for their
entry to the meet.
10.9. Private arrangements made by parents for skaters below the age of 18 are entirely private for which
AASSA and its volunteers, staff and coaches have no responsibility.
7
ALBERTA AMATEUR SPEED SKATING ASSOCIATION
11. Designated AASSA Coaches for Meets
11.1. Designated AASSA coaches for specific competitions should be named at least 1 month prior to the
date of the competition when possible. All applicants should be notified in writing about the decision
made.
11.2. The designated AASSA coach or manager for any competition will:
11.2.1. Successfully complete the screening process as outlined in AASSA’s screening Policy;
11.2.2. be selected by the VP Skater Development in consultation with the Technical Director. In the
event that the VP of Skater Development is applying for a position at an event, the SD Committee
and Technical Director will make the selection for that event;
11.2.3. be at least Level II certified within the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), and
Level III for Canada Winter Games;
11.2.4. if designated as Team Leader will work with the AASSA office staff to ensure that registration of
skaters, accommodation and transportation arrangements are taken care of;
11.2.5. collect accommodation and contact info from parents and or coaches
11.2.6. coach any Alberta skater who does not have their personal coach in attendance; and
11.2.7. observe the AASSA Member Code of Conduct.
12. Parent Volunteers
Parent volunteers are parents or other coaches either appointed by the clubs or self-named who work with
the coaching staff.
12.1. AASSA does not cover the costs of parent volunteers.
12.2. AASSA will make travel and accommodation arrangements when possible.
12.3. Parents must adhere to the AASSA Member Code of Conduct (Appendix B).
12.4. AASSA may at its discretion, work with volunteer coaches for accreditation as coaches at these
events but holds no responsibility to do so.

facility under AASSA funding (e.g. at the Olympic Oval), and/or is otherwise acting as a representative of AASSA.
Behaviour by a skater on their own time would be outside the jurisdiction of this policy.

All skaters will be notified (including the parents for those under eighteen years of age), of any incident
requiring disciplinary action. Such action will be discussed with the parents/guardians before imposition,
whenever possible and practical.
Skaters with continued poor behaviour may be dealt with more severely than first time offenders.
The disciplinary decisions applied to any AASSA member will be recorded and that record will be used
to monitor for any repetition of a given skater’s behaviour.
3. Allegations and Disciplinary Authorities
Allegations of misconduct may only be made by a specific individual, or group, either orally or in writing if
requested, to the disciplinary authorities. Hearsay would not be sufficient grounds for action.


The disciplinary authorities will determine the validity of the allegations and what sanctions are to be
applied.
In doing so, representatives of, if not all parties to, the incident are to be consulted regarding their
interpretations of what occurred, with whom, where, how, why, and when.
Any decisions or sanctions to the affected skater, including its rational, should be made in writing to the
SDC and the AASSA executive, as well as to the individual/group reporting the incident.
4. Appeals
Appeals may be made to the initiator of the sanction (e.g. coach, manager, official, Technical Director, SDC, or
AASSA executive)
or to the AASSA Ombudsman Committee.
The function of the AASSA Ombudsman Committee is to investigate any decision or recommendation made,
or any act done or omitted in the course of the administration of an AASSA policy and affecting any person or
body of persons in his, her or its personal capacity.
I, _____________________________, have read the AASSA member code of conduct for the 2015-16 season
