🏀 A Few Important Reminders
- Sportsmanship First: Remember that J-Hoops is about developing basketball skills, teamwork, respect, and having fun. Winning is exciting, but learning and enjoying the game are what matter most.
- Please Leave Basketballs at Home on Game Days: Each court has basketballs available for warm-ups. Personal basketballs create distractions for players and officials during games.
- 24-Hour Cooling-Off Period: Please remember our league policy requiring a 24-hour cooling-off period following games before discussing concerns involving coaches, officials, or league administration.
- Check TeamSnap: With multiple games coming up, please stay informed of your team's schedule.
Thank you to all of our volunteer coaches, officials, parents, and especially our players for making J-Hoops such a special program.
We have some exciting basketball ahead, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on the courts
Sunday, October 18, and throughout our weeknight games October 19–22!
Remember: Players Play, Coaches Coach, Officials Officiate, and Parents Cheer!
Let's have another great week of J-Hoops basketball!
