Practice Rules Just because the other half of the court from you doesn’t have a team on it one week doesn’t mean it will always be like that When the date or date/time of your normal practice in a school is listed as unavailable, you do not have practice It is the your responsibility to know when there are conflicts and to inform their players. No one will call you to remind you. If you have a conflict, the head coach must look at the Practice Schedule to identify a Location that will work for a practice.

Practice Rules Do not just show up at a school which had an open time when you last looked at the schedule. You must reserve the time or you will not be allowed in the gym Custodians and school administrators have access to the practice schedule just like you. If you just show up, you will be asked to leave Rapid Run can be used to practice 4 teams at once. It is listed on the website as Rapid Run North and Rapid Run South

Facility Utilization Practices and games are a privilege not a right It is your responsibility to keep your players and parents under control Have your parents keep your players younger / older siblings under control Sometimes issues arise with utilization of the schools. Please work through your building coordinator who will work with me to get the issue resolved If you are aware of a conflict and the practice schedule shows the school being available, please bring it to my attention using the Contact Us functionality on the website so they can be reviewed Your players are only allowed in designated areas

Facility Utilization Please do not bounce basketballs in any area other than the gym Do not enter the gym until it is your practice time out of respect for the team practicing in front of you Absolutely do not enter the gym when a school team is practicing If you cannot live within the rules, then you or the appropriate party on your team will be referred to the Disciplinary Committee for action Please treat the school custodians, staff and administration with the respect you would expect if you were in their position Delshire Elementary - Finger Print Access
