Playing Time
Playing time and
starting positions are not a given they are earned!!
Players who work the hardest and show the most commitment
and respect for the team will be recognized and rewarded.
Coaches expect players to show up to practice on time
ready to practice. It is a sign of disrespect to your
coach and your team for you to show up late and disrupt
a practice that has already started!!
Coaches expect players to show up to practice ready
to play, properly attired ready to give 100%.
Players should take any home practice assignments given
by the coach seriously and expect consequences if they
blatantly disregard a coach's request for home practice
ie: shooting free throws, practice dribbling, 100 outside
shots etc., etc.
It will be considered showing disrespect for your team
members if you do not do your part and practice what
the coach is asking of you. Each player has an important
role on the team and is expected to do his/her best
to fulfill their role.
If it is obvious that the player is disregarding coach's
practice requests, showing up consistently late to practices,
making excuses not to practice HARD, has unexcused absences
from practice, sideline coaching from parents and nonpayment
of fees will all directly affect playing time in tournaments
PARENTS: Please, Please do NOT coach your child from
the sidelines. The coaches have plays and strategies
they are teaching the kids. Sideline coaching just distracts
your child and it is not FAIR to the rest of the team
when said player messes up the plays because he/she
is listening to a parent instead of their coaches!!
If there becomes any obvious distractions to your child
while on the court he/she will be sat on the bench per
each coach’s discretion.
Parents please realize we are representing Chico Blazin
Heat with emphasis on respect. Please show respect for
other teams, coaches and officials. Don’t embarrass
yourself and your child by being negative or critical.
BE POSITIVE!!! Our kids are learning life lessons and
we all know that life is not always FAIR!
Players should realize that the stats that really count
are turnovers, assists and rebounds, not individual
points, if a player is showboating and taking ill advised
shots the player will be sat on the bench per the coach's
discretion.
Comunication
There will be a
practice and game schedule posted to our website:
Players need to be responsible for knowing when/where
their practice will be held. If a player needs a ride
he/she needs to arrange that ahead of time. If you can’t
find a ride call your coach or call Coach Tony, we can
try to help with rides if needed.
Players need to show responsibility by informing his/her
coach beforehand if they know they will be missing practice
. If an emergency comes up please communicate with your
coach as soon as you can. Unexcused absences will result
in a loss of playing time in games!! Be Responsible!!
