3 HELLO! Welcome to the Bayside Family! We are so excited you have chosen us. If you re a returning family, we re so happy to have you back. We look forward to making this next season even better than the season before. The Bayside in Bayside Athletics is not our physical location. It is who we are; our gym atmosphere and our coaching style. Our teams, classes, and facility provide a safe harbor filled with Christ s love and grace for both our athletes and their families to grow in. We encourages our athletes to try new athletic ventures, to push their physically and mental limits, and to grow spiritually. Bayside doesn t stand for a location; it is symbolic of the environment. Welcome to Bayside! Our goal and mission for every athlete that enters our program is to develop and train them spiritually, mentally, and physically. Building them up to be more confident, become better athletes and better people on and off the competition mat. The Bayside core values are our guiding principles in how we interact with each other. They will be followed and represented by our director, coaches, athletes and parents. 1. Faith Trust, belief, confidence, conviction. Have complete trust in your heavenly creator and in your abilities to accomplish anything you put your mind to. 2. Integrity Do the right thing, all the time, even if no one is looking. 3. First Fruits Bring your best. Do all you do, with all of who you are. 4. Impact Make a positive impact on each other and the next generation. 5. Authenticity We are all created unique. Do not conform to this world, embrace your uniqueness and love and accept others for theirs. Be real and genuine towards ourselves and others. 6. Humility Be selfless. Put others before your self interests. Regard others more highly then yourself. 7. Unconditional Love one another, give grace, and extend forgiveness as God has loved you. 2 P age Rev. 3/15/2018

12 COMPETITION POLICY We will discuss these items more as the competition season approaches, but please understand that all athletes are required to be at ALL BAYSIDE TEAM PERFORMANCES. Keeping a positive, high energy cheering/support section when every athlete walks onto the competition mat is huge to both Bayside and all our athletes. Thanks for helping make our competition day full of community. Please ensure that athletes are on time and fully ready at their team meet time. Hair and make up details will be posted on the team competition page. Athletes with improper hair or make up will be required to fix it prior to competing. Athletes must have their Bayside Backpack and Bayside Warm Up Jacket at each competition to unify our group and impact our presence in each arena. NO JEWELRY is allowed at competitions as per USASF guidelines. Athletes will be required to remove all jewelry prior to warm up. Please note this for timing if getting new piercings, etc. FINGERNAILS must be trimmed to a safe length. Long nails, whether real or fake, will not be allowed due to the safety issues it causes for the athlete and other athletes on the floor. Coaches will trim nails if necessary to keep athletes safe. NO nail polish on competition days. It is the responsibility of each family to book their own hotels and travel for any out of town competitions. Bayside Office will send out hotel information for all competitions by end Summer (earlier if we are able). Room blocks will fill, so please book immediately. At the competition, the first priority for the athlete and the family of the athlete is that we are there to compete and there for our team. Please wait to make plans with family/friends until you have a final schedule. Also note that teams will do team dinner sometimes as a fun way to bond and grow together. ***When the competition schedule is released, please block off the FULL DAYS of the competition. Plan on each competition taking the entire day from approximately 7AM 10PM as we do not receive schedules of performance times until the week before the events in most cases.*** 11 P age Rev. 3/15/2018
