Summer Camp Conduct Policy

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

• Aristotle

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.

• Michael Jordan

These two statements shape our exemplify the philosophy of the Next Level camps and establish the core for participants standards. Everyone at camp is expected to give their best to themselves and to others. Through this commitment we will all learn what it takes to go to the NEXT LEVEL.

• We are here to make ourselves better.
  • We must listen attentively and respectfully to all presentations and staff throughout camp.
  • We understand that, in the interest of safety, any player too ill to participate in training sessions will be held out of all competitions for that day of camp.
• At all times, we will treat each other with respect and dignity.
• We will have the courage to compete with each other at our highest level and shake hands when it is over.
• We will demonstrate respect with our language avoiding profanity and personally degrading comments of any kind.
• We are responsible for keeping track of our things and arrangements can be made to keep things secure.
• We will care for and protect the property of others.
• Punctuality is a sign of courtesy and respect and we will all be on time and ready to compete throughout camp. Next Level time is always five minutes early. A champion is ready to play the instant the whistle sounds.
• We are all guests at camp and we will be respectful and grateful to our hosts throughout.
• We will keep our rooms clean at all times and make the extra effort to collect any litter we see and recycle or dispose of it properly.
• We will thank our hosts whenever the opportunity presents itself.
• We understand that Camp staff may enter our rooms in pairs at the direction of the Camp Director to insure our safety and the maintenance of the Camp philosophy and standards.
• Success starts in the mind, but requires the body to make it real. Fitness and safety are our collective responsibility.
• To be at our best, we must rest. All players will be in their own rooms at 11:00pm each night and lights will be out at 11:15pm without exception.
• Players found in a room other than their own after 11:15pm will be asked to leave camp immediately the following day.
• Alcohol and tobacco are the opponents of excellence and may not be consumed by any camper at any time.
• The physical safety of our camp is everyone's concern. We will not leave camp grounds for any reason without the permission of the Camp Director.
• We understand that proper nutrition and hydration are critical components to maximum performance, and will eat and drink properly throughout camp.

Any participant at camp who chooses behaviors that are contrary to these statements will face appropriate sanctions as approved by the Camp Director. This may include expulsion from Camp. All disciplinary procedures will be conducted according to basketballscotland policy.
