1. ACADEMICS WILL BE FIRST!!
Your grades and class work come before basketball. Do your homework when you should. Directly after school is best. Failing
grades will result in player ineligibility. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL “THE DAY BEFORE” TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR STUDYING.

Be properly dressed with basketball shorts and shoes, no jewelry, phones, hair ware, etc. We are aware that there may be circumstances that arise that cause you to miss a practice; e.g. vacation, illness, etc. When this occurs, the player or parent/guardian will inform their coach in advance when possible by sending an email to: TeamPrimeSports@gmail.com BEING GROUNDED BY YOUR PARENTS WILL BE TREATED AS AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. "is type of
absence will result in the player losing playing time and/or being dismissed from the team.
3. ATTITUDE.
Our goal is to build a team of players that consistently demand more of themselves, than is demanded by the coaches. Be
coachable, hustle, display mental toughness, and be focused on the game. WE WILL WORK HARDER AND SMARTER THAN ANY OTHER TEAM. We will strive to develop good habits by practicing with good form and appropriate efforts. "these efforts will determine our
success during competitive play. RESPECT COACHES, TEAMMATES, OPPONENTS, PARENTS, MANAGERS AND REFEREES. Behavior that reflects negativity on players, coaches and referees will not be tolerated, e.g. lack of control or profanity. RESPECT CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS. Lack of respect and discipline issues resulting in school consequences will result in game or team suspensions.
4. AS A TEAM MEMBER, I WILL GO TO THE COACHES/ TEAM MEMBER FIRST IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WHICH IS
RELATED TO THE TEAM. I will not complain to others, until I have given the person I have a problem with an opportunity to correct it;
e.g., a team player or coach. ADJUSTMENTS AND SACRIFICES are necessary to achieve team
and individual success. EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT on the part of players, their families, and the coaches is important. In
return, we have an opportunity to create a positive experience that will affect our lives forever.
