Gym Procedures

 

No Food or Beverages in the Facilities at any Time
Please ensure that your players and parents are abiding by this rule. If we are alerted that your team has left bottles, spilled beverages or food in the gyms, it will jeopardize our standing with the District and our use of the facilities. If your team is reported to have left these materials in the facilities, we may cancel your practice slot. Please encourage use of the water fountain at each site and encourage your players to be good citizens and protect our use of the facilities.

Gym Opening and Closing
During the school week, all facilities have janitors on-site who are responsible to open and close the gyms. Please use the utmost restraint and courtesy in dealing with the janitors as it only takes one event of discourtesy or staying past the appointed hour and we can be terminated as a user of the MSD facilities. On the weekends and school holidays, we are responsible to open and close the facilities in accord with the school district’s procedures; we need your assistance and cooperation to be sure that happens.

Weekends and Holidays
If you are scheduled to use the facilities, plan to arrive early to see if there is a team in the gym before you; if not, come to the <contact and location yet to be determined> to get the key for the gym. Once your practice is over, return the key to <contact and location yet to be determined>. We try to alert the coaches if we have the gym scheduled consecutively or not, but there are times when scheduled teams fail to use the requested slot, so the gym is closed when you arrive—so you will need to come for the key.

Hard and Fast Rules

1.      UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY GYM KEYS BE PASSED ON TO ANY OTHER PERSON; THE ONE WHO PICKS UP THE KEY RETURNS IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PRACTICE!! WE do not have and cannot get duplicate keys.

2.      Always secure the gym when you leave; if another team has not showed up, please be absolutely certain all doors are closed; the doors automatically lock upon proper closure.

3.      All practices CEASE at 9:30pm at the latest at all facilities. Please do not delay in GETTING OUT ON TIME as staying beyond 9:30 is a severe infraction. It is our policy to end practices at the mini-gyms at 9pm as a courtesy to the janitorial staff.

4.      If you arrive at a gym and there is another user in place, please leave quietly if you are unable to convince the user of our scheduled use on that day. Let us know immediately and we will take the issue up with the school the next day. Our biggest problem has been Boy Scouts, who simply refuse to leave even though we have the gym. It takes a while to work through these issues, but we have priority over Scouts under the MSD rules.

5.      On rare occasions we ask coaches to assist us with the opening and closing of the gyms, which includes the disarming or re-arming of the gyms, particularly if you are the first or last user and we are unavailable to open or close. Please remember the following procedures to open or close JM, LP or CP using the alarm:

To disarm the alarm:

    • Enter the gym alone and close the door behind you;
    • Listen for the beeping of the alarm; if beeping, it is armed and must be dis-armed within 60 seconds;
    • Go to the alarm box and enter our CYO code (we will provide it to you), followed by the "ent" or "enter" button;
    • The beeping should stop immediately; if not, you have done something wrong (an open door, wrong number, no "ent"), so repeat the procedure to stop the beeping;
    • If you enter the gym and there is NO BEEPING, the alarm is already off;
    • The alarm is in the janitor closet at JM; you must enter the closet but do not need to close the closet door to deal with the alarm;
    • TURN OFF THE LIGHTS when you leave after setting the alarm!!!
    • To set the alarm, repeat the same procedure: clear the gym so you are alone and can hear the alarm; close all doors securely; enter the code and hit "ent" or "enter," turn off lights and leave quickly, securing the door behind you.
    • If you fail to follow the procedures, you will trigger the alarm, the police will come and we will be charged for the infraction by the MSD. Three infractions TOTAL and we are OUT of the facilities for good.
