Guidelines for Host Parents

These ISST guidelines are intended for the use of parents hosting visitors for tournaments and friendly international school matches. Curfews are set by the school for each event; host parents may ask their guests to observe an earlier curfew, but they can not extend the curfew or adapt any other ISST rules for their guests.

1. During the period of the tournament or competition you stand in place of their parents for the student(s) you host. Please exercise all supervision and care that you would normally exercise with your own children.

2. The regulations for student behaviour are listed on the Player Contract. The students you are hosting have already agreed to observe these regulations.

3. Please report immediately any violation of these regulations by the student(s) you host to the responsible official designated by ISST (i.e. the Tournament Director, Housing Coordinator, Athletic Director).

4. Neither host families nor students may negotiate changes to the ISST regulations for students with respect to curfew, housing arrangements, the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs or any other rules or provisions set forth by the host school.

5. Please make contact with the students you are hosting at the time designated by the host school.

6. Please arrange for suitable transport as necessary. Normally this is expected to be a private car to and from the sporting events.

7. Please provide the students with suitable meals (breakfast and dinner).

8. Please provide a packed lunch for the students during the competition and for the return journey to the home city (unless declined by the student).

9. All athletes will be expected to provide housing during the year, even if the tournament does not include the sport in which your child participates.
