TOURNAMENT EXPECTATIONS

BE ON TIME: Please make sure once we have a bracket and times that you communicate with your coach whether or not you will attend. Do it early so they can plan accordingly. Please be in the gym at least 30 minutes before the start of your game. UNIFORMS: Make sure you bring your own uniform and bring both home and away if you dont have a reversible. Show up at least 30 minutes before your first game so you can get changed and be ready to go. BASKETBALLS: We encourage each athlete to put their first and last name on their basketball. There are times when we will ask each athlete to bring their own ball to practice or games to be used to warm up. BOOKS AND CLOCK HELP: Some of our parents will be asking you to help with book and clock duties. At all of our tournaments, we will need some of you to help volunteer with some of these duties during our games. Parent coordinators will probably ask team parents for help. Please understand how thankful we are to get your help with this so that the coaches can focus on coaching. MEALS: Please be sure to send money with your child to eat in case there is a break. We may find times to all get together. There will also be situations where folks have to go their separate ways to get food. Just be prepared to feed your athlete during the tournament. PLAYING TIME: This is select basketball. Having said that, we will try our best to win. Everyone can expect to play a full quarters worth of playing time on our LOCAL & DEVELOPMENTAL TEAMS. From there, based on the context of the game and the players involved on both sides of the team, coaches will make decisions to put their teams in the best position for success. REGIONAL TEAM members are not guaranteed playing time. Your athlete can earn more playing time by attending all practices, attending all events and by demonstrating improvement and adjustments based on feedback from coaches during games and practices. Schedule a time to sit with a coach before or after practice to talk about problems you have never during the contest or immediately after when emotions are high. WILL WE WIN? We like to win. We want to win. Having said that, we will have some very competitive tournaments against some teams who are made up of some very talented players. As this is our first year, we do not know where we stand in relation to this talent level. Thats just the truth. So stay with us for the long road and make sure to encourage your athletewin or lose. Because to get where they want to get to, they have to do things they have never done before. Some of those things include playing high-level competition and seeing where their weaknesses and strengths lie. Over the long haul, they will improve and be more prepared for their coming school year, which is our objective. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means that we are focused on learning ways to help put your athlete in a position to succeed. We will work to improve on the mistakes we make and we will work to give a great effort and handle mistakes and triumphs with the same consistent approach. We may lose a lot. We may win some. We may even win a lot. But our objective is simply to improve your athletes game in practice and use the games as an evaluative tool to see where we need to focus our efforts. Especially early on. HAVE CLASS: We know you are going to get passionate about cheering for your athlete and his or her team. Please make sure that you represent our program and your athlete and their team in a first class manner. We dont want to blame games on refs or anything else. We want to teach our athletes how to handle these situations with the right mentality, and you will be a huge influence in this process. COACHING: Each team will have their own coach, who will work with them in practice. Coach Terroba, Coach Smothers and Coach McGarity will oversee all coaches. If you have any feedback about the coaching you are receiving, let Coach Terroba know at CoachT@centeaxattack.com or at (512) 784-3399.

PARENT-COACH COMMUNICATION MDOEL It is important that we establish guidelines and expectations for times when a parent of an athlete wants to work out an issue with their teams coach. It is part of our approach to be open to conversations and to encourage working through problems. Below are some guidelines. LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION FOR CONTACTING COACHES: 1. LEVEL 1: PLAYER-INITIATED CONVERSATION a. The first level is that the athlete involved approaches the coach on his or her own and starts a conversation. b. We believe that player to coach is the most effective and efficient means to solve these types of problems. c. It also teaches athletes to always advocate for themselves down the road. LEVEL 2: PARENT EMAIL TO TEAM COACH a. If conflicts are not able to be resolved at Level 1, then we encourage parents and athletes to reach out to the coach for a parent-coach conversation. i.TIMES WHEN IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO INITIATE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR COACH: 1. Immediately after a game or contest where emotions are high. a. 24-HOUR RULE: We make it a policy to ask the parent in these situations to email us and arrange for a meeting the next day. This is to avoid emotional exchanges that are many times tied to the game that was just played. 2. If they can sense that the parties involved are in an emotional state and feel it would be better to cool off. 3. Right before practice: They are busy getting their plans together for the day. b. List your concerns in the email and also establish a time of the day that works well for a phone call. c. Coach will respond to the email within 24 hours and will set up a time for a phone conversation. i.Coach will CC Director and Master Coach. LEVEL 3: ARRANGE AND CONDUCT A PHONE CONFERENCE a. Coach will respond and will seek out a time to talk by phone and hopefully, address the concern by phone. b. If the issue is not resolved by phone call, then the team coach will set up a face to face conference. i.All parties will arrange for a time when the PARENT, the ATHLETE and the TEAM COACH can all attend. LEVEL 4: FACE TO FACE CONFERENCE a. Coach will sit down with the parent at a time that does not conflict with practice or with a game. After practice is usually most appropriate. b. The athlete involved is required to sit in on the meeting with the team coach, the parent and potentially, the master coach or director, if appropriate. This is to ensure there are no loopholes and to ensure accountability for all parties. c. Parents and athletes will be asked for DESIRED OUTCOMES from the meeting ahead of time. d. Coaches will address each of the DESIRED OUTCOMES during the meeting. WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS 1. 2. 3. The physical and mental treatment of your athlete. What the athlete can do to improve their game. But if you ask, be prepared to hear TRUTH OVER HARMONY. The athletes goals and commitment statements and how the coach can help hold the athlete accountable to that standard. 1. 2. 3. 4. WHAT WE WILL NOT DISCUSS Game strategy. Other players (unless there is bullying or wrongdoing in which case, we will reach out to the athlete in question). Other parents. Other coaches.

TEAM MANAGER EXPECTATIONS DEFINITION: To assist coaching staff in ways that will allow coaches to focus on coaching during practices and tournaments. This includes a variety of administrative duties as outlined below. 1. TOURNAMENT DUTIES: Have volunteers lined up before game day to fill out team roster and operate scoreboard and score sheet. (Volunteers may be any adult or high school aged person/relatives for scoreboard and score sheet) 2. ORGANIZE VOUNTEERS: Create ways for others to volunteer (bring drinks or snacks for the players after a game , videotape the game for coaches to be able to review later) so that all players families are involved some way on game days. 3. FACILITATE COMMUNICATION: Parents with questions, concerns, and suggestions bring them to you. You then get them to the Coach at the appropriate time. Assist the Coach in resolution and get back with the parents. If there is a problem that cannot be resolved at the local team level, then it will be presented to Coach Terroba for final resolution.

4. FUNDRAISING: Help with and execute fundraising ideas to help generate funds for players, coaches, and all families with CENTEX ATTACK. All funds raised by your team to be spent on your team this seasonnothing carries over to next year.
