  1. All members selected for the A Squad must meet and abide by the Desert Foxes Cycling Club Membership Rules.
     

  2. Race team members will not wear articles of endorsement other than those of the Desert Foxes, its sponsors, assigns, and/or accepted affiliates.  This includes, but is not limited to jerseys, shorts, and sponsor merchandise.  The only exception to this rule is the allowance of medically prescribed sports equipment.  Blank jerseys and shorts which only sport a manufacturer's logo are acceptable. Violation of this rule results in immediate removal from the A Squad.
     

  3. The "A Squad" is always and only determined by coaches' selection, and is final. 
     

  4. To be considered for selection to the A Squad, you must commit to completing a minimum of  five races that are approved by the coach.  Of these five, the Tucson Bicycle Classic must be included.  All races must be raced in category 4, and not age graded categories.
     

  5. All members wishing to be selected for the A Squad MUST own an Annual USCF Racing License.  One-Day Licenses are not acceptable.
     

  6. Members of the A Squad receive a different racing jersey for entered events.  The jersey must be returned after the the event in a timely fashion, and must be returned in the condition in which it was received. Please wash the jersey before it is returned. The destruction of a jersey during a mishap is excusable. Fido's use of it as a chew toy is not.
     

  7. Professional representation of our club and sponsors is always expected.
     

  8. Negative comments about events, event promoters, officials, race competitors, other teams, fellow teammates, coaches, and/or sponsor (including sponsor product) will not be tolerated and is grounds for immediate removal from the club.
