ATTENDANCE POLICY
Mites:
Participants must be present at and participate in or have an excused absence for at least 50% of the actual practice sessions. Failure to do so will result in the participant being dropped from the Rizzo Rink program. If the participants do not adhere to the 50% standard at a mid-season check, they may be dropped from the program at that time.
10U and 12U leagues:
If a player is absent from one more than half of the actual evaluation sessions without an excused absence, he/she will be dropped from the program. Once a player is assigned to a team, the following will apply to unexcused absences: (Applies to attendance at Games and Practices)
(a) First two: No Penalty.
(b) Third: Will not play for one period in the next game attended.
(c) Fourth: Will not play for two periods in the next game attended.
(d) Fifth: Will not play for an entire game; and must be present on the bench for the game they sit.
(e) Sixth: Will be dropped from the roster immediately and will not be automatically retained for the following season.

ALL individuals are warned, especially those who report late for practice, that it is their individual responsibility to ensure that they are credited with being present.
