Five Ways to Have the Best Season Ever
- Respect the gyms upon arrival, during and after the games. Remove all trash and bring your own chairs.
- ALWAYS Respect our Officials. The Referees are helping your children learn the game of basketball. Trust their judgement. There is a zero tolerance for countering a call or disrespecting our officials.
- ALWAYS cheer for your children and their teammates. There is no need to instruct from the sidelines. Yelling directions to your children is confusing. Offer to help your coach at practice or volunteer to coach.
- Give your child love and support. It’s so easy to get caught up in making sure they do everything right or that they always win – the game, or scrimmage or contest. This is definitely the wrong approach to take. We have to remember as parents that our children are participating in youth basketball to have fun, to be with their friends and to compete.
- Let your child dribble, pass and practice footwork whenever possible. Youth basketball parents should remember to encourage their child to practice, join them as often as you can – but never force them. They will determine how often they want to practice. “Practice makes Perfect”
Enjoy!
