and throughout the community.3. Give maximum effort.4. Be a team player, accept your role in our program and

EXCEL AT IT!

Four simple rules to abide by to be a member of ourbasketball program. Three simple rules that you will hopefully continue to follow even after you leave us.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE

PLAYERS?

1. Be on time

Consequences

Players will push towels and initial their discipline log every time they arelate to a practice or team function.

Our definition of on time is dressed and ready to go on the start time.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS?

2. Be of good character on the court, in the classroom and throughout the community.

Consequences

If we receive a negative report from a teacher you will be required topush thirty towels and we will report it in their discipline log.

All other character issues that arise in school, at schoolfunctions, practice, games, locker room, etc that are not coveredin our policies.....These will be up to the coach’s discretion and dealt within a consistent manner. Some violations may include, but are not limitedto; truancy, skipping, insubordination, violence, cheating, D-halls, ISS.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS?

3. Give maximum effort. & Be a Good Teammate

Consequences

We want to be the hardest working team in our district, during games andpractices.

If we don’t give great effort in practice…….we will have additional running at the end.

If we don’t give great effort in games……we will not be successful that night.

If we pout about things not going our way we will have unrealistic expectations about our basketball career and eventual careers in life.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS?

Tutorials will be mandatory for some student athletes that don’t keep their grades high enough.

Tutorials are to get extra help on topics and subject matter that you are not grasping during the class period.

Tutorials are NOT for completing assignments or projects that should have been done at home or during class.

During the typical week our (JV/Varsity) players will have three or four opportunities to attend after school tutorials for additional instruction from their teacher.

The only days they won’t be able to attend tutorials are Wednesdays (because we will begin practice right after school), or if we have to leave right after school for an away game.

Academics are our number one priority, but we don’t want players missing practice because they are not taking care of their responsibilities in the classroom or at home.

WHEN WILL MY SON BE ABLE TO ATTEND TUTORIALS?

All practice and game schedules can be found on our website. Players are required to be at practiceand games on time with all of the appropriateequipment on or with them.

Training Staff Contact InformationDavid Silva and Stuart Jackson 409-927-3146 or 409-927-3147

WHAT SHOULD ATHLETES DO IF THEY GET HURT?

Coach’s Philosophy The expectation he has for your son and all the

other players on the team. Location and times of all practices and games. Team requirements (fees, special equipment

needed, important dates) Procedures to follow when your child is injured

during participation.

WHAT COMMUNICATION SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE

COACH?

Concerns about your student athlete expressed directly to the coach at the appropriate time and place. Please follow the 24 hour policy and don’t attempt to talk to a coach directly following competition.

Specific concerns about the coach’s philosophy or expectations.

Notification of any schedule conflicts well in advance.

WHAT COMMUNICATION DOES THE COACH EXPECT FROM

ME?

Issues NOT appropriate to discuss with a coach. How much playing time athletes are getting. Team strategy. Issues or concerns about other players.

Issues that are appropriate to discuss with a coach The mental and physical treatment of your child. What your child needs to improve. Concerns about your child’s behavior.

WHAT CAN WE DISCUSS AT A MEETING?

All parents need to follow the proper procedure when handling concerns. Have your child try to resolve the issue with their coach at the

appropriate time and place first. If that does not resolve the issue the you should call the coach

to set up a meeting. Again, please follow the 24 Hour Policy. Think about what you want to accomplish during the meeting. Make sure that we stay on topic during our meeting.

If we cannot come to a healthy solution to the issues or concerns you have then you can contact our Campus AD. Jay Buckner-Campus Athletic Director

jay.buckner@sfisd.org

HOW DO I HANDLE A CONCERN?

Sign up to work in the concession stand Contact Angela Wilks or Dawn Belcher for more information.Sign up to help out during our Robert “Coach Bob” Galkowski Freshmen/JV Tournament Various volunteers will be needed to make this tournament

run smoothly. Contact Angela Wilks for more info.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THE PROGRAM?

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP THE PROGRAM?

Concession Stand Hours: Over the last two seasons we’ve had a difficult time getting parents to volunteer to work the Concession Stand. Inevitably, what happens is 3-5 parents work regularly, and miss portions of their son’ s game. With that problem in mind, while working with our Booster Club, I have come up with a reasonable solution.

Concession Stand BuyoutWe ask that you either:

A) Work a scheduled two hours in the concession stand at some point during the season (you can sign up with Angela Wilks or Dawn Belcher)

B) Purchase a $50 Buyout that omits you from having to work the Concessions this year. So that you’re aware, this option does present the possibility that for some home games, the Concessions may not be available.

Athletic Fee-$50 All athletic fees must be paid through our athletic office

Home Game Today T-Shirt-$10 Team T-Shirt-$10 You may buy the T-Shirts tonight if you wish.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER POTENTIAL FEES?

DO IT!!! All athletes are encouraged to participate in any sport

they are able to make at Santa Fe High School. Your son is welcome to work out and participate in

other sports during our season whenever that participation does not conflict with his obligations in basketball.

If you choose to practice another sport during our season you MUST make it back to our practice on time.

Anyone participating in basketball will be given an opportunity to try out for any sport after the completion of our season.

WHAT IF MY SON WANTS TO PLAY ANOTHER SPORT?

He will learn the importance of an education. He will learn how to communicate effectively. He will learn how to be responsible for his own

actions. He will learn how to treat the people around him. He will learn how to develop a strong work ethic. He will develop into a young man that is ready to

compete at a high level in our society.

WHAT WILL MY SON LEARN AS AN INDIAN BASKETBALL

PLAYER?

All parents need to please verify their contact information with Coach Tucker before they leave.

GO INDIANS!

THANK YOU FOR COMING!
