Elite 1s Basketball Contract

The following are the Elite 1s Travel Basketball Program policies and rules. It is in the best interest of all participants that a contract be drawn up to which all parties show their acknowledgement. This contract sets policies and rules in addition to those agreed to in the Elite 1s Travel Basketball Program Code of Conduct.

1. PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT: As a member of an Elite 1s Travel Basketball Team, each player understands that participation is a privilege and not a right. As part of earning that privilege, and to maintain it, more is expected of each player. Each player agrees to assume the responsibilities set forth in this contract and each parent to support its intent. Elite 1s Basketball reserves the right to revoke the privilege of any player to be a member of Elite 1s Travel Basketball if the player does not exhibit appropriate conduct or otherwise fails to meet the obligations set forth in this contract.

2. PLAYER CONDUCT: As a member of an Elite 1s Basketball Team, each player represents and serves as a reflection of his coaches, his team, his family, and his community and agrees to conduct himself or herself responsibly both on and off the court, to display sportsmanship on the court and to demonstrate concern for the rights, safety, and welfare of others off the court. All Players agree to treat their coaches, teammates, competitors and referees with respect and courtesy.  Behavior that shows disrespect toward other players, coaches, and referees, or demonstrates lack of self-control including the use of profanity will be subject to discipline.  The coach will determine appropriate disciplinary actions.  Should the behavior continue to be inappropriate, the coach may seek the removal of the player from the team subject to approval of the Elite 1s Basketball Program. [See Disciplinary Action Below].

3. CLASSWORK COMES FIRST: Each player is expected to strive for academic as well as athletic excellence.  A player’s class work and performance in school take precedence over basketball. All players are expected to perform well academically, to complete their homework and studying first so as not to interfere with their commitment to basketball.  Should the player be unable to attend practice to complete academic responsibilities, the parent should communicate this directly to the coach.  While academics take priority, it is not acceptable to repeatedly miss practice due to school workloads.  Should a player be unable to perform at an acceptable level academically and athletically, the player should withdraw from the team until such time as the academic performance improves. This is a parental decision; however, the coach and team assume that each player will be present for all practices and games.  Repeated absences could result in diminished playing time and potential dismissal at the discretion of the coach.

4. COMMITMENT: Practice is a critical element of individual skill development and team success. Based on facility availability, each team will meet at least twice a week for practice. Practices are structured by the coach to improve individual skills, build team strategies, and develop the sense of team. Each coach devotes a substantial amount of time in the design and delivery of each practice.  Each coach is
committed to teach the players as much as they can about the game of basketball at an Elite level so that each player can become the best that they are capable of being. Players agree to always work hard in an effort to learn as much as they can, to improve their individual skills and contribute to success of the team. While all players should have fun, that is not the only goal of the Elite 1s Travel Basketball program. This is an advanced basketball experience that requires the commitment and dedication on the part of players, their families, and the coaches. The objective of the travel basketball program is to develop advanced basketball skills within a highly competitive environment, while at the same time learning the values of hard work, preparation, and teamwork.

5. ATTENDANCE: Attendance at each practice and all Games is mandatory.  Players should arrive one half hour prior to scheduled game times unless otherwise instructed by the Coaching Staff and should be on time for practices.  If a player is unable to attend a practice or Game due to illness, vacation, family emergency, school/religious education obligation, then it is the player’s responsibility to notify the coach or assistant coach in advance if at all possible with the reason for absence.  The coach will determine the implications of absences as it relates to playing time.

6. PLAYING TIME: The amount of playing time during games is within the sole discretion of the coaching staff of the team.  The team is competitive, and no player is guaranteed playing time. Each coach will make playing time decisions based on the game situation, players skills, abilities, and attitudes.

7. FEES: Fees go principally toward payment for gym time, referees, tournament fees, supplies, insurance, equipment, etc.  Individual teams may determine on their own to enter additional tournaments or games which may result in a supplemental charge to members of that team. ALL FEES MUST BE PAID BY THE DEADLINES SET FORTH BY ELITE 1s BASKETBALL.

8. DISCIPLINARY ACTION: Any tardiness or unexcused absences for practice or games will be addressed at the discretion of the coach.  Repeated unexcused tardiness will result in treatment as an unexcused absence.  Being grounded by parents is treated as an unexcused absence.  The first unexcused absence may result in diminished playing time. The second unexcused absence may result in the player being benched for the next game. Three or more unexcused absences may result in dismissal from the team.

9. PARENTS: Parents understand that they too represent our team, community, and basketball program.  Parents agree to encourage and cheer for the team in a positive fashion during the game and to refrain from rude or obnoxious behavior or comments toward the opposing team and officials. Parents should never confront referees or other game personnel — that is solely the province of the coaching staff. Parents should respect and support the decisions of the coach. Parents, there will be ABSOLUTELY NO coaching from the sidelines or stands. We understand that you want your athlete to be at their best always, but understand that if you are coaching, we cannot. Should a parent have an issue with playing time during games or have an issue with a coach after a game, said parent will agree to speak to a head coach or Elite 1s Basketball representative 48 hours after said incident. “COOLER HEADS WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL!”

NO PARENT WILL EVER ADDRESS ANOTHER PARENT’S CHILD/ATHLETE ON OUR TEAM OR AN OPPOSING TEAM.

10. PROBLEMS: If a Parent or player has any problem with a coach or other team related matter, the parent or child should FIRST speak directly with the head coach.  If the parent or player is unable to do so or is unsuccessful in doing so, then the next line of communication is with the Elite 1s Basketball Player Representative, Giannella Syed at Elite1sbball@gmail.com.  All issues should be addressed in an appropriate manner bearing in mind that the expertise and judgment of coaches should be respected particularly when it comes to positions and playing time.

ANY VIOLATION OF THE ELITE 1s BASKETBALL CONTRACT MAY RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF THE ATHLETE IN QUESTION WITH NO REFUND AT THE PROGRAMS DISCRETION.

We, the coaches, promise to do the following:
1. Treat each player as if we would want our child to be treated.
2. Attempt to play each player in every game. In close games, the time may be less (even no playing time) and in blowouts, the starters will probably play less than the substitutes.
3. Be examples of good sportsmanship and character.
4. Teach your child the skills to become the best, Elite player they can be.
5. Discuss anything with parents or players, except your child’s playing time. (PLAYING TIME IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION.)
6. CARE FOR YOUR CHILD/ATHLETE AND DO ANY AND EVERYTHING POSSIBLE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SUCCEED IN LIFE.

I understand that by signing this contract, I will agree to abide by these expectations described on this sheet. I promise to work to the best of my ability until the season is over.
