yourself properly at all times.
Language- Chronic swearing will be dealt with. Occasional mistakes will lead to consequences
Academic responsibilities- Must have passing grades and should always put forth maximum
effort.
Proper practice attitude- Be coachable, by listening, focusing, and being disciplined “to do the
little things”.
Attitudes toward each other- any player responsible for dissension, jealousy, individualism, or
negative criticism, or anything that could destroy the morale of this PROGRAM will be dealt
with immediately.
Don’t give excuses for your mistakes-DEAL WITH THEM AND MOVE ON.
APPEARANCE- I understand the desire to be different. Team uniformity is expected in every
way.
Practice Responsibilities
1. Always be dressed and ready to practice before the actual starting time.
2. “If you cannot be on time, be early” (Consequences for being late-Team runs). If this becomes a
chronic problem, it may lead to your dismissal from the team.
3. Do not miss practice, with the exception of: family emergencies/extreme illness. Even if you are
unable to practice physically, you should still be there to observe. Missing practice without any of
the above will result in sitting out the 1st half of next game.
4. If unable to attend practice or check out of practice early it is the PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY to
contact Your Coach.
5. Our team is considered a family and each member should respect each other as a functional family
member.
-we will not tolerate arrogance or selfishness
-we will not tolerate harassment of a teammate
-we cannot have individualism on this team but I do want you to be confident yourself.
6. Dress Code-practice
a. Must be in practice gear every day (reversible)
b. The locker room must be clean and organized before you leave. If the mess is not yours, pick it
up anyway.
