Club Code of Conduct
We believe that, in creating a team, we are doing more than just paddling together. We are working to build community by creating and environment that is safe for all members to celebrate their shared passions. As such, we are committed to protecting this environment through our Code of Conduct. Each member is required to acknowledge the Code of Conduct before the season begins, and must abide by the Code of Conduct throughout the entire season. Violation of the Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action including suspension-either temporary or permanently as determined by the Board of Directors.
I WILL:
- Treat myself, fellow club members, competing club members and the general community with respect, honesty, fairness and aloha.
