PLAYER & PARENT CONDUCT, NOTES AND INFORMATION

Your coach will contact you prior to the start of the season with details with regards to jersey and weekly schedule. All games will be played on Sundays.
Only Players and BMBA officials will be allowed in the gym during the Evaluations due to safety and location capacity requirements.

PARENTS CHECKLIST:

– Parents are advised to follow the “24 hour rule” implemented for the period immediately after the game which allows the coach time to focus on his/her players and at a more appropriate time, address parent/spectator feedback.

– Players should use their REUSABLE water bottles at practices and games. In addition, water is the only fluid allowed in the gym and practice areas. Single use water bottles are PROHIBITED.

– Whenever possible, please refrain from calling the coach or convener around dinner time. Remember the coaches and conveners are volunteers who usually also work full-time and would like to spend some quiet time with their families. Please send an email inquiry and we will respond as quickly as possible.

– Be prompt when bringing players to practices and games and also when picking them up. Players should arrive 15 minutes before the start of their game.

– If your child wears eyeglasses, be certain that the lenses are shatterproof or plastic. You may also want to consider protective eyeglass goggles and a mouth guard.

– Please become familiar with the convener/s for the division your child is playing in.

PLAYER CHECKLIST:

– All players are required to wear non-marking indoor shoes and the full uniform provided by the BMBA.

– NO JEWELRY is to be worn during basketball games or at practices. The referee or coach will ask players to remove all jewelry.

– Water is the best fluid for hydration. Remember, ONLY WATER is allowed in the gyms and practice areas.
