3.      Respect the Opponent. Its just a game! Don't taunt, mock, bait or otherwise put down your opponent. Foul, abusive, or racially-motivated language has no place in our league.
4.      Respect Yourself. Be the teammate you want to have; integrity is an expectation. Treat everyone on the field/court as you would a friend or colleague. We share the same goal of sports, fun, and community!

Weather & Game Reschedule Policy
You understand that Moves Sports has a Weather Policy in place, and you agree to comply with the policy: 
Severe Weather Forecasted
If severe weather is in the forecast, we are constantly monitoring the situation throughout the day and into the evening. If we cancel games, all impacted players will receive an email notification as soon as the decision is made.

Weather at the Field
Often, only certain fields may be impacted, or the storms happen quickly near game time. In those situations, the officials at the field have sole discretion on playing, and will advise the league of status.
All Moves Sports leagues adhere to your county’s policy regarding severe weather (thunder, lightning) which all players, coaches, managers, and referees are responsible for implementing. It is a requirement that if any individual involved with the League (including non-playing spectators) sees lightning or hears thunder, they must bring it to the referee's attention immediately. EVERYONE shares in this responsibility. When a member of the referee crew sees lightning or hears thunder, or is alerted to such by a player, coach, manager, or spectator, the referee will immediately suspend play for 30 minutes. Everyone MUST clear the field and retreat to the parking lot. Anyone who remains on the field after the referee has ordered everyone off the field acknowledges that they do so at their own risk and that neither the League nor the referee crew assigned to the match can be held responsible or any injuries occurring as long as play is suspended.
At no time may an individual ask the referee to ignore the lightning or thunder or insist that play be allowed to continue. The referee will wait 30 minutes from the last flash of lightning or peal of thunder. Each time lightning re-appears or thunder is heard, the referee MUST restart the 30 minute clock. 
For certain sports, actual game time may be shortened to allow the game to play to completion on the impacted night.

Reschedules
If a game isn't played due to weather, it will be rescheduled for later in the season. First priority will be on the same league night, but may be on a different night of the week due to season and field limitations. 
In extreme circumstances, Moves Sports does reserve the right to run a shortened season without a refund. We will make every attempt to get all regular season games played.

Jewelry, Electronics & Supportive Device Policy
You understand that Moves Sports has a Jewelry, Electronics & Supportive Device Policy in place, and you agree to comply with the policy: 
For any Moves Sports game, players must remove all exposed facial jewelry, watches, cameras (GoPros, cell phones), activity trackers (Fitbits, Apple Watch, etc.) and other wrist jewelry. Medical ID bracelets may be worn at any time.
Braces/Casts: A guard, cast or brace made of a hard or unyielding substance (such as plastic, plaster or metal) must not be worn on the elbow, hand, wrist or forearm, even if covered by padding.
Knee and ankle braces are permitted and do not require any padding.
All jewelry and supportive equipment decisions are at the referee's sole discretion.

Facility/Field Use Policy
You understand that Moves Sports has a Facility/Field Use Policy in place, and you agree to comply with the policy:
Please stay off the field until the prior user group is done.
No Alcohol or Drugs are allowed on or near the field
There is NO Smoking on or around turf fields
Pets are not allowed on Turf Fields or on School grounds
Failure to comply with these rules could result in a forfeit match and/or league suspension.

Holiday Policy
You understand that Moves Sports has a Holiday Policy in place, and you agree to comply with the policy: 
Holiday celebrations are important! Here are the days when you can expect no league games:
Super Bowl Sunday (no games after 5pm)
Easter Sunday
Mother's Day
Memorial Day Weekend (Sat-Mon)
Independence Day
Labor Day Weekend (Sat-Mon)
Thanksgiving Weekend (Thurs-Sun)
Christmas Eve through New Year's Day
Please expect that all other holidays that fall on your league day will have games scheduled, and we will not be able to accommodate bye week or reschedule requests for those days.

Refund Policy
You understand that Moves Sports has a Refund Policy in place, and you agree to comply with the policy: 
All registration fees are non-refundable. Registering for a team is a commitment to participate in the full season.
In some cases, we may need to delay the start of the league. This may be due to teams needing more time to complete their rosters, playing facilities having schedule conflicts and myriad other reasons. We reserve the right to delay league starts, and will incorporate all planned games into the revised schedule to the best of our ability. Delayed season starts are not grounds for a refund.
Players or teams' decision not to participate in a league they have registered for is not grounds for a refund. If players or teams choose not to participate after they have registered and before the season starts, they may request a credit to use towards a future league. All requests must be submitted in writing to support@movessports.com.
In the case of excessive cancelled games due to weather, or any other circumstances causing a reduction in the number of games played, there will be no refund or credit for games not played. Moves Sports reserves the right to host games on days other than a normal day of regular season play, and at alternate times and locations from those originally designated if necessary. No refunds shall be provided under these circumstances. Should a league be cancelled entirely, players always have the option to transfer to another league, or hold a credit to be used for a future season.
Refunds will only be processed at the discretion of Moves Sports, and will only occur if an individual league or activity has been cancelled due to an insufficient number of teams registered, and no alternate leagues for that sport are available. Changes in location, start or end dates, season or duration are not grounds for requesting a refund. All refunds must be requested in writing to support@movessports.com, and be received prior to the originally posted registration close date for that league.
All social event tickets are non-refundable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Participant has read and voluntarily e-signed this Release, and further agrees that no oral representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing written agreement have been made.
