CONDUCT
Please review the Faith & Grind Basketball Conduct Policy carefully. We encourage you to go over it thoroughly with your child before the first practice or game. At Faith & Grind, we take great pride in maintaining a reputation as a “class act” both on and off the court.
PLAYING TIME
As many of you are aware, AAU is a highly competitive environment. While every participant will have the opportunity to play in each game, it is not feasible to guarantee equal playing time for everyone while maintaining competitiveness. Additional playing time is earned based on performance during practices and games.
If parents or guardians have any concerns or issues, they will be addressed within 24-48 hours. Emotions tend to run high, especially following games or practices, so we kindly ask that you wait a day or two before sharing your thoughts with any staff members. This helps prevent public disagreements, which are not allowed at Faith & Grind Basketball.
Additionally, please inform a staff member if you or your child will be absent from any basketball activities. Coaches need advance notice to adjust their plans accordingly.

PLAYER & PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
- PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT
Youth sports play a vital role in encouraging physical, social and emotional growth of children. It is therefore essential for parents, coaches and officials to encourage their youth players to embrace the values of good sportsmanship, discipline and character development.
- Be a good sport (win or lose), be honest, fair and always show good sportsmanship to all coaches, players, officials and fans.
- Learn the value of commitment to the team.
- Put personal goals aside for the betterment of the team.
- Show courtesy and respect to all teammates, parents, opponents and coaches.
- Realize that athletic contests, including practice sessions are educational experiences and opportunities.
- Players will not engage in unsportsmanlike conduct.

- PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
Parents are vital to the development of young athletes. Whether sitting in the stands or helping out as a volunteer, parents must set a positive example. Parents and adults involved in youth sports should be models of good sportsmanship and lead by example on and off the court.
- Give constructive criticism during a private moment, never in front of other parents, players, officials, spectators, etc.
- Support your coach, and refrain from excessive “sideline coaching” from the stands.
- Refrain from using profanity.
- Abide by doctor’s decision in all matters of players health and injuries, and physical ability to play.
- Accept the decisions of officials on the court as being fair and called to the best ability of the officials. Parents must stay off the court and remain under control in order to set a good example for players and other spectators.
- Do not criticize an opposing team, its players, fans, coaches or team, by words or gestures.
- Support the coaches, players and officials and help teach the value of commitment to the teams, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play.
- Inappropriate behavior is cause for immediate ejection from the stands. Repeat offenses will result in being barred from future games and league sponsored activities.
