Lady Tiger Basketball Rules 

 

Expectations of Student-Athletes:

 

  1. Members will follow all policies set forth by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, Chamberlin Middle School and the Twinsburg Board of Education.
  2. Everyone is expected to attend practice.  There are only two excused absences:

 

    1. Absence from school - athletes must be in school at least a half day, 3.5 hours, to count as a full day
    2. Coach’s permission

                                                              i.      **If you have an injury YOU MUST COME TO PRACTICE and watch, or it will be considered unexcused.

 

                                                            ii.      **For any situation which does not allow you to attend practice, the player MUST contact/inform her Coach.  

 

  1. Team members will arrive to both practices and games prepared.  All athletes must wear appropriate attire for practices and games.  NO JEWELRY is permitted while on the gym floor during practices or games.
  2. When practice is over, rides are expected to arrive at the designated time.
  3. Athletes are required to travel both to and from all team competitions and activity events with the team.  If a parent of the athlete wishes to have the student return from a competition or event with the parent due to a “special” circumstance, a NOTE must be signed by a school PRINCIPAL and given to the coach PRIOR to the start of that evening’s contest.  (Obviously, prior consideration and planning must be made!!!)  Athletes and parents will also need to sign out with their coach prior to leaving the gym.   
  4. All team members shall conduct themselves (on and off the court) so that their behavior is a credit to themselves, their team, their coach and their school.
  5. Hard work, positive attitudes, and encouragement will be expected of ALL players at ALL times both on and off the court.  Players who are unable to abide by these standards will be dismissed.
  6. All athletes are students first, and it is our expectation that each player will work in the classroom to the best of her abilities.  Consequently, class work and behavior must be appropriate for the Twinsburg Lady Tiger Basketball Program.
  7. Three strike office referral policy.

If a Student Athlete is referred to the office:

1st referral – student-athlete misses one half of a game.

2nd referral – student-athlete misses a game.

3rd referral – student-athlete is dismissed from the team.

 


Expectations of Parents:

 

  1. We expect you to support and encourage your student-athlete.  

However, please DO NOT coach your child from the stands.  

  1. Feel free to contact your daughter’s coach for an individual parent meeting if you have concerns about the following items:
    1. College recruiting process
    2. Academic concerns
    3. Injuries or illnesses
    4. Vacations/Absences
  2. Players are evaluated by the coaching staff each day at every practice and game.  Playing time is determined by performances during these evaluations and will not be discussed with parents.    
  3. Please encourage your child to work hard and be positive about her team and her own abilities.   
  4. Please help us to set an example of good sportsmanship when reacting to coaches, opposing teams, and referees.  Your support and positive attitude is vital to our success as a program.  

 

Expectations of Coaches:

 

  1. The philosophy of the Lady Tiger Basketball program is to provide a positive environment while teaching, motivating and challenging each player to develop her basketball skills/techniques and thrive as a cohesive team.  
  2. To have an open line of communication with each player.  
  3. To stay informed of the player’s grades and discipline record in school.
