Team Travel
TEAM TRAVEL and Athletic Sponsored Events
Team travel plans should include the necessary number of student-athletes for competition, but not necessarily all members of the team. In particular, student-athletes who are injured should not travel unless they have a specific team function to perform.
Student-athletes will use only university-arranged transportation to competition and must return under the direction and supervision of the head coach. The only exception is with a written confirmation from the student or parent/guardian that he/she has informed the parent/guardian that they will drive on their own to the competition or will ride with another student. Student-athletes, who drive on their own, with parents, with another student-athlete, or others, assume the risk and liability for any accidents or injuries, etc.
All student-athletes are expected to conduct themselves in an exemplary fashion while representing the University, including while traveling to and from competition or practice sites. Conduct in hotels, restaurants, and other public places should be above reproach. The University Student Code of Conduct applies to students whether on or off campus. Student-athletes who behave in a manner unacceptable to the University may be barred from future trips, dismissed from the team, and/or face disciplinary action from the University. In addition, each team’s coach may develop their own team rules in addition to Department of Athletics and University rules. Each coach will explain what he/she expects from their team members. In the event that the team rules are more stringent than department or University rules, the team rules have precedence. Student-athletes incurring extra charges while at hotel (e.g. movies, room service, or damage cost) are responsible for those charges. All student-athletes should have clean and neat appearance when representing the University. Coaches may establish dress requirements for their teams. In addition, coaches will establish curfew and/or other requirements.
North Greenville University student-athletes are direct representatives of the university and uniforms are designed and intended to represent the team and the University. Therefore, student-athletes may not alter or add to any uniforms and/or any athletic attire or equipment provided to the student-athlete by NGU athletic department.
