Royal Fury Basketball
Player Expectations
Respect
1. Each player will show respect to self, coaches, teammates, referees and
opponents, community & program.
2. Issues/Problems should be directed to the coach, not handled on your own.
3. Captains need to be leaders and not followers, in order to get respect you
must show respect.
4. We will respect each other and help each other, as well as get along with one
another. Hold yourself and your teammates accountable to this.
Dedication
1. Players are expected to attend all team practices and tournaments unless
timely prior notification to coach is approved.
2. Players are expected to participate in fundraisers. Fundraisers are not only to
raise money but build team moral and chemistry, and it is also how we keep
our program funded.
Attitudes
1. Poor Attitudes will not be tolerated!
2. Any player that shows bad representation at any time will meet with parent
and coach(es) before moving forward with the team.
3. The Coach is the only one to address or question the referee about a call.
If the player chooses to do so may result in sitting out the remainder of
the game/tournament.
4. Have a positive and never quit attitude. Exemplify and demonstrate
sportsmanship at all times.
5. I will not abuse alcohol, use drugs or illegal substances, nor will I engage
in illegal or immoral activities during Royal Fury practices, tournaments,
and Royal Fury sponsored events.
Uniforms
1. Players may be issued practice jersey/game uniforms.
2. Each player will be responsible for the care and maintenance of the uniforms
they are issued.
3. Each player must bring their practice jersey to practice and uniforms to
games. If one team member forgets his/her any required item, then the entire
team will be penalized. Penalty at the coaches’ discretion
4. Uniforms must be returned at the end of the season or the player/parent
will be responsible for replacement cost.
Practices
1. We start practice on time and get out on time. If you are on time you are late.
2. In between drills and for water breaks you are expected to jog or run and get
water.
3. Unexpected things do happen, Life happens. If you can’t make a practice
please call at least 24-48 hours prior.
4. Unexcused missed practices will result in consequences up to and including
removal from the team.
Coaches will coach and players will play.
****PLAYING TIME IS NOT GIVEN, IT IS EARNED! THIS IS NOT PAY FOR
PLAY, THE AMOUNT OF PLAYING TIME THAT IS EARNED IS AT THE
COACHES DISCRETION. THERE ARE MANY EQUASIONS THAT COME
INTO PLAY WITH PLAYING TIME. IF THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT
PLAYING TIME, THE ATHLETE SHOULD SPEAK TO THE COACH
PRIVATELY, AS THEY WILL BE THE ONLY PERSON ABLE TO MAKE THE
CHANGES NECCISARY TO GAIN MORE PLAYING TIME.****
By signing this paper I agree to and understand what is expected of me as an athlete with
Royal Fury Basketball. I also understand that failure to follow these expectations may
result in a player/parent meeting, suspension and/or removal from the team on a case by
case basis.
