Class Act — On & Off the Court

Conduct

At Faith & Grind, we take great pride in maintaining a reputation as a class act — on and off the court.

Please review the Faith & Grind Basketball Conduct Policy carefully and go over it with your child before the first practice or game.

Playing Time Policy

AAU is a highly competitive environment. While every participant will have the opportunity to play in each game, equal playing time cannot be guaranteed while maintaining competitiveness. Additional playing time is earned through performance in practices and games. Concerns will be addressed within 24–48 hours — please allow time after games or practices before contacting staff. Notify a staff member in advance if your child will miss any activities.

Player Code

Youth sports play a vital role in encouraging physical, social and emotional growth of children. Players are expected to embrace the values of good sportsmanship, discipline, and character development.

Parent Code

Parents are vital to the development of young athletes. Parents must set a positive example and lead by example on and off the court.

Give constructive criticism privately — never in front of others
Support the coach; refrain from excessive sideline coaching
Refrain from using profanity at any event
Abide by all medical decisions regarding a player's ability to play
Accept officials' decisions; stay off the court and remain in control
Do not criticize opposing teams, players, coaches, or fans
Support coaches, players, and officials; model sportsmanship and fair play
Inappropriate behavior = immediate ejection; repeat offenses = ban from future events
Do not encourage unsportsmanlike conduct from your child or anyone else

Believe. Grind. Rise.

Your Future Is Worth the Work

Believing in yourself and your purpose is just the start. Faith & Grind is where that belief becomes action — performing the same repetitive reps, day after day, until greatness is the only outcome.
