How to get involved?
For most sports, nomination is via the Sport Sign Up page on the Mount Carmel College
website (http:/mountcarmel.tas.edu.au/sport-activity-sign-up). This page lists the sports on
offer during each term – by clicking on the “Sign-Up” button you will be taken to a form
where parents/carers will enter their child’s details and the sport or sports they would like
to play in that term. There will also be written communication for some sports, and updates
in the Bulletin for when it is time to nominate for a particular sport.

Teams will be put together based upon a range of factors including the number of
nominations, the availability of coaches/managers, and friends you may need to be with for
transport requirements.

Students and their parents/carers must consider all other commitments they have,
transport arrangements to and from games and training (the school does not provide
transport), and the uniform required to participate. Training is determined by the coach,
but where possible it is usually during one lunchtime per week at school or nearby sports
fields.

Family members and friends also have the opportunity to be involved in the College’s
sporting program. The online sign-up form has a field where parents/carers can nominate
someone to be a team coach, manager or supervisor, or to even help with umpiring or
scoring if the sport requires. This support is very much required and allows the College to
offer such a large range of sporting opportunities. All sports volunteers require a Working
With Vulnerable People Registration.

Primary Sport Information Booklet 2019 - Mount Carmel College
What will the College do?
MCC will organise teams in which all students who nominate for a sport will have an
opportunity to participate. Teams can be organised to accommodate a friend request for
transport reasons and every effort is made to make teams even, especially when there are
multiple teams in the same competition, to allow for a fun and fair games.

All teams are organised within the financial constraints of MCC; are dependent upon
volunteers to assist with coaching, managing and umpiring; and are conducted in a safe
manner.
Primary Sport Information Booklet 2019 - Mount Carmel College
What are the responsibilities of students and families?
   Make sensible choices about
    which sports to play. Time,
    transport, and other
    commitments should be
    considered.

   Take up opportunities offered by
    MCC with enthusiasm and
    commitment.

   Attend all training sessions and
    games, showing a willingness to
    listen and learn from others.

   If unable to attend a training or game, please inform the team coach, manager
    and/or Sports Administration Officer.

   Always graciously accept the umpire’s decisions.

   Abide by decisions made by MCC regarding matters in dispute.

   Always show good sporting behaviour by expressing emotions, ideas and opinions in
    a positive manner.

   Enjoy and celebrate a win without boasting, lose without excuses and participate
    with courage and determination.

   Use courteous language.

   Communicate with the Sports Administration Officer if you have a concern . . . avoid
    bottling things up.

   Forfeiting is a last resort. Inform the Sports Administration Officer as early as
    possible if there is a clash in the roster with other commitments. Consider fill-in
    options so the game can proceed. Be considerate of the impact you may have on
    other students and families if you don’t play.

   Students/families are expected to make their own travel arrangements for games –
    the school does not provide transport. Students are expected to be at the game
    venue at least 15mins before the scheduled start time and should not be left
    unsupervised.

   Wear your uniform correctly and represent MCC with pride.
Primary Sport Information Booklet 2019 - Mount Carmel College
How can parents/carers/family members assist with teams and
sport in general?
     Communicate with your child regarding commitment, transport and uniform
      requirements.

     Understand that students are expected to attend all training sessions and games.

     Promote sportsman-like behaviour on game days and be positive role models.

     Any queries or concerns should be directed to the Sports Administration Officer in a
      timely manner so that issues can be managed.

     Ensure your child has any required medication at games (eg. Asthma puffers and
      Epipens).

     Parents and family members are encouraged to volunteer to coach, manage,
      supervise and umpire for any team in which they have knowledge or an interest.
      Volunteers require a Working With Children Registration and new volunteers will
      also be required to complete a Volunteer Induction provided by Mount Carmel
      College.
Primary Sport Information Booklet 2019 - Mount Carmel College
What uniform is required for which sport?
There is an expectation that students wear the uniform in the correct manner. The full
tracksuit (including spray jacket) must be worn to and from all games and competitions, and
the navy sports bag is also taken to games. Hair is to be tied back at all times and the MCC
hat offers sun protection. During games and competition, tracksuits and rugby tops are not
to be worn.

Suitable shoes are important to prevent injury. Skate shoes and casual shoes are not
acceptable.
