The SBA has high standards for everyone involved in the club. There is no one person that is bigger than the program. It is the expectation of the club that all of its players, coaches, parents, and volunteers demonstrate respect and sportsmanship at all club functions.
All SBA players must demonstrate a commitment to the game of basketball. As the kids progress, playing time is earned through:
Coaches must:
SBA parents must build up and support their player, other team members, and parents of other team members. Parents must possess high moral principles, be honest and fair, and set a positive example for others. Parents are also responsible for providing suitable arrangements for the lodging, meals, and transportation of their player to practices, clinics, and tournaments. Parents are expected to abstain from unprofessional conduct such as: disrespect toward or harassment of game officials, fans, athletes, or coaches; ethnic or racial slurs; and unsportsmanlike conduct. We expect parents to get involved with their player in practice at home.
All players and parents are expected to participate in the fundraising activities. Each player is required to pay a minimum amount of money each year. Without the fundraising program, the cost per player to participate in our club would be exorbitant! Support the club during home tournaments with planning, volunteering, and executing the event.
During the season, teams typically practice 2-3 times per week and have tournaments/scrimmages on the weekends. Players are expected to provide their own transportation to and from any practices or games.
