📢 IMPORTANT REMINDERS
1. Busy Game Schedule – Next Two Weeks
We have a very busy stretch of basketball ahead as we work toward completing our regular season. Please pay close attention to your schedules and make every effort to have your players arrive on time and ready to play.
2. Sportsmanship – Players, Coaches & Parents
As the games become more competitive and playoff seedings are on the line, emotions can run high.
Please remember that J-Hoops is a recreational youth basketball program focused on teaching the game, developing skills, and creating a positive experience for every child.
We ask all parents and spectators to continue showing respect toward opposing teams, coaches, and especially our game officials.
Officials are responsible for applying the rules and managing the games. Just like players will miss shots and coaches will make decisions that don't always work out, officials may occasionally miss a call. That is part of sports.
Please cheer for your children, encourage their teammates, and allow the coaches to coach and the officials to officiate.
Our players learn from the example we set on the sidelines!
3. 24-Hour Cooling-Off Policy
As a reminder, we have a 24-hour cooling-off period following games before discussing concerns involving coaches, officials, or administrators.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly, and I will be happy to discuss them with you.
4. No Basketballs at Games
Players should not bring their own basketballs to games. Basketballs are provided for all scheduled games.
