Code of Conduct: Parents

The final installment of our codes of conduct are for the parents of each of the players.  As coaches we are always grateful to the parents who entrust us with teaching their kids the great game of basketball.  It is their sacrifice both in terms of time and economics that make this possible.

Code of Conduct: Parents


  1. Always bring your child to practice 5 minutes before start time.
  2. Always bring your child to games 15 minutes before game time.
  3. Let the coaches know if your child will miss a practice or a game.
  4. Try to have your child make as many practices and games as possible.
  5. Avoid confrontations with the other teams players, coaches, or fans.
  6. Do not argue with referees
  7. During practices and game avoid giving instruction to your child.  This is difficult for some parents to do but when kids have more than one voice in their ear during a game or practice they can get overwhelmed.
  8. If you have an issue with what the coach is doing approach them in a civilized manner after the game or practice.
  9. If you have issues with teammates bullying your child please approach the coach.  Do not take matters into your own hands.
  10. Encourage your kids to practice by going out with them and playing.

Layups, Layups, Layups

 When we go to youth games we like watching how the kids warm up.  To us youth basketball is an easy game to coach.  As a youth coach you need to teach your kids how to play good aggressive man to man defense and on the offensive end teach them how to pass and move towards the basket.  In a pass an move offense, layups are so important.  This goes back to our opening statement about watching youth level warm ups.  Most of the teams warming up spend a lot of time shooting shots, but the good ones are always working around the basket.  We've always found it entertaining that youth teams spend so much time working on jumpers and so little time on layups.  In addition, the little time they do spend on layups is spent doing basic layups using the right hand on the right side and the left hand on the left side.  There is so much more to it than this however and kids should be exposed to different types of layups in practice.  No one can predict what kind of layup opportunity will present
