General registration questions

What is Beaches Lacrosse Tryout Policy?

TBLC believes that players are strongest when they participate in a number of sports and our club aims to accommodate tryouts for lacrosse with this in mind.

Based on parental feedback, for tryouts (Field rep, Box rep) we will ensure there are a number of separate tryouts (typically 3), scheduled on different days and times, in an effort to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules.

TBLC will post prior to any tryout the rules governing attendance and selection. As an example, TBLC typically requires players to attend at least one tryout in order to be eligible to play on any of the “1” teams.

This policy is designed to enable families to plan for tryouts well in advance, and to allow our club’s families and Beaches Lacrosse volunteers to better manage their time.

Is There a Code of Code of Conduct?

Toronto Beaches Lacrosse Club (TBLC) is a member club of the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA). By
registering for any TBLC program every member of TBLC agrees to abide by the following Code of Conduct.

 
All individuals affiliated with TBLC shall:
I. Attempt at all times to work toward the goals and objectives of TBLC, the OLA, the game of Lacrosse, and toward the betterment of its members.

Disciplinary Process

A Toronto Beaches Lacrosse Club (“TBLC”) Member who observes misconduct in violation of the Code of Conduct (the “Code”), may notify the individual(s) to:

  • Cease the misconduct;
  • Ask the individual(s) to leave the vicinity of the TBLC hosted activity if the misconduct persists;
  • Notify security or legal authorities if the circumstances warrant

Thereafter either the President or the TBLC Board of Directors may establish a Disciplinary Committee (“DC”) to preside over suspected Code violations on a case-by-case basis.  If the DC finds that a violation of the Code has occurred, then the consequences for the offending member may include, but may not be limited to, the following (in escalating order of magnitude):

  • Letter and /or documented meeting with DC
  • Fines (the proceeds of which may be used to pay for any direct and consequential damages suffered by TBLC or any of its Members due to the misconduct);
  • Suspension or banishment from TBLC sanctioned events for the balance of the season;
  • Revocation of Membership in TBLC;
  • Life-time ban from TBLC sanctioned events and/or
  • Paying TBLC’s litigation and other legal costs relating to, or flowing from, the misconduct in question.

TBLC’s Board of Directors reserves the right to amend this process at any time. In the event that this Process overlaps or contradicts any process imposed by a regulatory body such as the Ontario Lacrosse Association, then the regulatory body shall prevail only to the extent of such overlap or contradiction.
