1. Middle School Basketball League

2. Schedule Practices: Tuesday: 3pm to 5pm Thursday: 3pm to 5pm Games: To be decided.

3. Character Revealed Some people say that you develop “character” when you play a sport. I say that is incorrect. Your character is revealed when you play a sport.

4. Commitment Remain committed the whole season Attend ALL practices and games. Always do your best. Not try, DO. If you miss a practice or a game, bring a note explaining the absence.

5. Respect Be respectful on the court. –Respect all coaches, all other players, the referees and anyone else that is on the field showing their supporting for our team. –Failure to do so will result in suspension from practices and games. –Do not taunt. –Do not scowl. –Do not fight.

6. Be a Role Model Not many people can be intelligent and athletic – usually it is one or the other. You belong in a rare category – the “Student Athlete.” Behave off the court, and be a good example and a positive role model.

7. The Student Athlete Maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). Earn at least a C in all your classes (especially PE). Earn “O” and “S” in citizenship. Do not get suspended or otherwise disciplined.

8. Playing Time Everyone will practice, but not everyone will play. Playing time will be determined by a combination of effort, grades, citizenship and skill (not necessarily in that order.)
