Biddy Parents Update

Practice        
  
Every Tuesday except when school is out. Check your teams practice time. 

Games         

On Friday nights during January and February.  The schedule will be posted on the web site as soon as we get it.  Players should be at the gym 15 minutes before scheduled game time.  You can also check this site (http://www.yorkcountycba.com) for the schedule, league rules, pictures, and information. The church will have a basketball banquet in late March.  We'll provide details later. Each parent must sign a liability waiver for the church and league before they can play in a league game. A copy of the waiver is on the web site.
                        
Role and Responsibility Reminder:  Parents are to cheer for their children/players, players are to play the game, coaches are to coach their teams, and referees are to officiate the ballgame.  
 

 Shirts    
        
Team shirts must be worn for all games.  Our shirts will be navy blue. You may use your shirts from previous years. Contact your coach by Tuesday, December 9 if you need a shirt for this year.  

 
Pants          

Preferably shorts (without pockets).  Any color will be OK.
 

                                 
Mission  

To provide growth through Christian recreation and fellowship.  Everyone should exhibit behavior Everyone should exhibit behavior conducive to Christian principles.
 

Goals  
       
We have five goals for your children.  The first is we want them to do their best.  The second is we want them to have fun.  The third is to learn to play together as a team.  The fourth is to learn the skills and rules of basketball, and the fifth is to practice good sportsmanship.  
 
Support your child by providing a basketball (intermediate or regulation size) and goal. Skills will develop better by going to the larger size instead of a smaller size.  The basketball goal should be 8 1/2 feet high, however, a regulation height goal (10 feet) will be fine.  Your child will have more fun if they practice (dribble and shoot) at home between games and practices.  Keep the games fun.  Cheer the kids on; leave the game coaching at home.
                
We need your child to be at every practice and game.  Please give one of the coaches a call if you know your child will not be able to attend.
 
Thanks for your patience. Your comments are always welcome.
