Dolphin Team Policies

PRACTICE ATTENDANCE: All members of the Miami Hills Dolphins swim and dive teams are expected to attend all practices. However, we understand that five workouts each week may be difficult for some new or young swimmers. Parents, please work out an appropriate schedule for your child with his/her coach, if your child will not be attending all practices. Also, we realize that some families will take a vacation during the season. Once again, please let your coach know if you will be out of town and not attending practice. Any Dolphin swimmer who is working out with a club team (MAST, CAC, ETC.) is eligible to participate in Miami Hills meets. Membership on another Seven Hills League team is not permitted.

MEET PARTICIPATION: Please check the bulletin board for meet sign-up sheets. It is a positive check-in. Please put a check next to your child’s name if they WILL be attending the meet. If you do not mark the sign-up sheet by the weekly deadline, your child will not be entered in the meet. The coaches must have the event assignments in by the end of practice on Wednesday for Thursday meets. Swimmers and divers must compete in at least 2 regular Seven Hills League swim or dive meets to be eligible to compete in the Championship meet in July.

AGE and COMPETITION: Age group placement is determined by the child’s age on June 1st. They do not “age up” to the next group if they have a birthday during the season.
