Parent information
Competitive basketball works best when players, parents, and coaches begin the season with the same expectations.

These standards protect the development of each player and the success of every team.
Teams practice 1–2 times per week. Attendance at practices and games is expected. Absences may affect playing time and, when repeated, a player’s roster spot. Team-specific times and locations are shared after rosters and coaches are finalized.
Playing time is not guaranteed. Players earn opportunities through attendance, effort, attitude, performance, and team needs. Coaches will not discuss another player or compare players with parents.
Players are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA, or the elementary-school equivalent. Grades may be checked during the season. Academic, attendance, or behavioral concerns can affect a player’s standing.
Parents should cheer and encourage—not coach from the stands or enter the floor to give instructions. Families must treat officials, opponents, coaches, and one another with respect.
The season includes league and tournament play. Additional events and related fees are communicated by each team.

Absences affect the entire team and may affect playing time. Multiple absences may put a player’s roster spot at risk.
Program questions should be directed to Brian Allfrey. Coaches and program leadership will not discuss playing time or players other than your own child.
Reasonable, productive conversations are welcome. Playing time and other players are not appropriate discussion topics.
