Parent Code of Conduct

• This is a fun league and while we want to teach the kids to win, it’s more important that they enjoy the experience with new/old friends and continue to love the game of basketball
• It’s not that serious. Kids will look lost sometimes, refs will miss some calls (or let some things go as the younger kids learn the game) and there will be some ups and downs. NOBODY will get a scholarship or make the WNBA/NBA over the next 10 weeks
• We ask that you be a supporter of your child and ultimately, all the children. Our job is to build them up, especially when they are down. Our kids don’t try to miss shots, turn the ball over or lose the game. This will happen and please know that the kids are trying their best. Basketball is a very hard sport to learn and the best way to learn is through mistakes
• We ask that after the game on the ride home, ask your child about their experience and try to highlight all the things they did great. This is not the time to focus on mistakes or give them coaching advice. Once you get home and everything is settled, that may be a good time to give them some tips and advice
• We ask that you let our coaches coach and be a fan. We shouldn’t have kids looking to their parents because their name is called or parents are coaching from the sidelines. Please refrain from talking to the refs and if you have any issues, please email us after the game and we will handle it the next day
• Everyone is trying their best. Let’s all relax and enjoy the fact that our kids are healthy enough to play the greatest game on earth and do so in an uplifting and positive environment

Playoff Seedings

• In the event of a tie in the standings, the higher seed for playoffs will go to the team that won the latest head-to-head matchup.
• In the event of a three-way time, the higher seed for playoffs will go to the team with the best head-to-head between the three teams during the latest matchup (ie- team that goes 2-0).
• If there is still a three-way tie (ie-each team is 1-1 in the latest matchups), the higher seed will go to the team with the highest point differential for the latest of the matchups.
