• All members of the Cretin-Derham Hall Girls' Basketball program will represent Cretin-Derham Hall, their team, their family and themselves in a positive manner. We will project a positive image in the classroom, on the court, and out in the community.
• Basketball is a team sport. What is best for the team must be the number one priority for all those involved (players, coaches and parents). All players must learn, understand and accept their role on the team. Do what is asked of you to make the team successful. When the team succeeds, all of its members succeed.
• Make a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Work hard to maintain a balance in all you do. Work hard and participate positively in school, at home, at church and in community activities. You must take care of yourself. Get proper rest, eat right, and do not use chemicals.
• Treat all those around you as you would like to be treated. The basketball season is a long one, we must be committed to being supportive to one another.
• Believe in yourself, your teammates, your coaches and the system and game plan.
• The goal of the coaching staff is to put the best possible team on the floor at all times. Decisions, plans and strategies are all formulated with this in mind. The coaching staff will provide the best possible learning environment for all involved.
• It is the responsibility of each player to understand and commit to the philosophies, policies and team concepts provided by the coaching staff. There can only be one plan if a team is to be successful.
• Success begins at practice. Work hard. We want to outwork every opponent. Make hard work, intensity and concentration habits.
• Be prompt and prepared for all team functions, including practice, games, meetings, and any other team outings. Missing practices will effect playing time. If you decide during the season that you need to miss a game, you will sit one when you return for every game you missed. Exceptions will be made for emergencies.
• KEEP BASKETBALL IN PERSPECTIVE. IT IS A GAME AND IS MEANT TO BE FUN AND EXCITING. SHOW YOUR ENTHUSIASM EVERY DAY.
• Always remember why your daughter is playing basketball. Kids participate for many reasons, but usually they want to play because they love the game and they enjoy being part of a group. Always remember the positive lessons that can be learned in this environment. The number one priority must be to help the team be successful.
• The basketball season is a very long one. It will have many ups and downs. Your daughter will need your support and encouragement along the way. Help her stay positive by staying positive yourself. You cannot control the officials, the coaching staff or even your own daughter during try-outs, practices or games. Take control of the area where you can have the most impact on your child's development. Help her enjoy the team experience and help her to deal with the ups and downs she will encounter during the season. Your daughter needs your guidance to learn to deal with both success and disappointment in a positive way.
• Remember that every girl on the team is out there doing her very best to perform. Be positive with your daughter and with and about other members of the team. They do hear what you stay when you are in the stands. Give the kids a chance to do their best.
• Players have different strengths, weaknesses and abilities. Players will be expected to fulfill different roles based upon their abilities. Support their role on the team and point out their contributions in practice and in the less visible aspects of the game.
• Keep in mind that the coaches work with your daughter every day and are in the best position to make decisions about who plays and in what situations. Although you may not agree with the coaching staff, please try to respect the decisions that they make and understand that they have good reasons for making them.
• If problems do arise, encourage your daughter to communicate with her coach directly. If she is frustrated with a situation, or does not understand something, encourage her to go to her coach. The coaches have the best interest of the players in mind, but they need to know what the problem is in order to deal with it. If, after talking to her coach, the player still doesn't feel satisfied with the result, parents should get involved.
• This is the communication process that the Girls' Basketball program follows:
• Conflicts should be resolved between the player and the coach if possible
• If a parent/coach meeting is necessary, it will be held in a professional setting, during school/professional time.
• Parent phone calls should be made to school phone numbers and will be answered in a timely fashion.
• If, after a good faith attempt to resolve a conflict between the coach and parents, the issue is not resolved with reasonable satisfaction, the issue will be taken up with the varsity coach.
