Some teams may continue to play in the fall, but this is up to each individual team. What is the rule on practices? When and where are they held? Players are expected to commit to attend practice on a regular basis and help to contribute to the teams development. Teams practice twice per week for two hours at a time. Silver Devils teams will be practicing at local gyms TBD. When and where are the games played?

Additionally, teams usually plan two or three "overnight stay" travel tournaments during the course of the season. How much playing time will each player receive? Every player is guaranteed playing time every game. How much playing time a player receives is dependent upon that players commitment to the team, attendance at practice, attitude etc....Playing time will be given at the discretion of the head coach based on the above factors. What are the responsibilities of a player's parents? As a parent, you want the best for your child. Our coaches also want the best for your child. In order for this to occur, it is important that parents - no matter how basketball knowledgeable they might be, refrain from coaching their child in practices and games. The coach has ten player's interests in mind. It is always uncomfortable for a coach to remove a player from a game because she is acting upon her parent's coaching rather than fulfilling the expectations of the team and coach. A parent needs to be positive at all time and cheer on every member of the team. Any questions concerning coaching should be brought to the coach's attention in a private conversation without children present. |
