I am not big on formality, as our longtime parents and players know. However, things have been frazzled in the past few weeks, so I'm going to lay out the basics with the hope that we have more quality time at practice (i.e. more players working together in 5-on-5's). We had 12 at a practice last week, which is a promising and good thing.
1. ATTENDANCE. For practice, if you can't make it to practice or a game, please text or call me (551-1054). The responsibility is on our players, and if they can't do it, please one of the parents let me know. Better yet, both contact me. Basic consideration.
2. DISCIPLINE. We've had a few too many players yakking away, bouncing basketballs and not paying attention to details at practice, at pre-game, during time outs, and more. Some adults might chalk this up to youth. I don't. We've had 12U and 13U for two solid years and the earlier teams did not have this amount of inattention and disruption. Instead of wasting precious practice time when this happens by having everybody run, I'm simply going to send players home. They can run until their parent(s) arrive. We just don't have the time to waste.
Mahalo,
Coach Paul
