1. Practice will be one hour one evening each week. At the coaches pick night you will be asked to write down the times when you are unavailable for practice. You will be assigned a practice night and time based on the information you provide. Once the season starts, if you are unavailable please arrange for another parent to oversee your practice. The season is short and we want everyone to get as much basketball as possible. If you cannot make a scheduled practice, you must give Nanci Russell 24 hours notice. Only cancel as a last resort. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD ALONE AFTER PRACTICE. WAIT FOR A PARENT TO PICK UP.
2. Give each team member a t-shirt. You will receive these at the coaches clinic in February
3. When you arrive on Saturday at your game, you should bring a score sheet with you. We will provide you with enough at the start of the season although Board members on duty will have extras. Prepare the score sheet prior to the game and give a copy to the opposing coach.
4. Fill out the score sheet during each game, have the referees sign it, and hand in to the Board member in charge in the gym at the end of the game. We are checking to make sure that all members of the team have equal playing time and are rotated fairly each week. Please make sure to note the quarters that each has played. No final scores or win/loss records are kept. Please, no trophies or team photographs in the newspaper.
5. Remind all team members that the time noted on the game schedule is the time you and your team should ARRIVE at the gym. There is a 15 minute warm-up time built into the schedule. Do not arrive early as the gyms are crowded enough with spectators. Example: If your game is scheduled at 9:30, be there at 9:30 to warm up. The game will begin at 9:45.
6. Both coaches should meet at the beginning of the game and at halftime with the referees to discuss the expectations and the flow of the game. If issues arise please seek out the Board member present in the gym.
