Team Commitments

  • We support the team above all else, which means pushing ourselves to excel.
  • We respect and appreciate our team members and their right to be on the team and to pursue their goals.
  • We will respect the team members, coaches and parents of our fellow MSL teams.
  • We strive to excel and to help our teammates in their quest.
  • We welcome challenging, goal-oriented practices and we don’t tolerate goal-distracting behavior.
  • We accept responsibility to attend practice, swim meets, and other team events.


Team Rules

  • Be a proud member of the Bay Club Rolling Hills Stingrays Swim Team. Do not make negative comments about teammates, coaches or the team, other MSL swimmers, coaches or teams. Talk to the coaches if you have any problems or concerns.
  • Coaches do the coaching: It is your responsibility to listen closely to all instructions from the coaching staff and to attempt to follow them.
  • Attend practices, be dressed and ready on time: Arrive early for practice. A 4:00pm practice time means being in the water at 4:00pm. The coaches expect a three day minimum attendance to continue skill development, maintain conditioning, and achieve success on the swim team. Circumstances for less attendance need to be worked out between coach, parent, and swimmer.
  • Work towards your Goals: With the assistance of the coaches you should set high personal goals and work hard to achieve them. Know your times!
  • Cheer for and encourage your teammates: Learn the team cheers. Root for your team members. Big buddies root for little buddies and vice versa.
  • No Complaining: While at practice or meets, do your best to be positive. It is important not to discourage your teammates.
  • Learn about the equipment: You should learn how to use the pace clock, kick boards, lane lines, starting blocks, and backstroke flags. You are expected to help the coaches set up and put away equipment used during practices.
  • Follow the pool rules: You should be aware of the pool and surrounding facility rules. Respect the facilities and rules set by Bay Club Rolling Hills.
  • Respect the facilities: When we are the guest team, your actions, language and behavior reflect the entire team. Please respect the facilities and leave them clean. When we are hosting a meet at Rolling Hills Club, please leave the central area near the family spa and the deep end (surrounding the square planted area) free for the visiting team to set up camp.

Always come to practices and swim meets with a good attitude... and have fun!
