 * Team Rules & Policies and Coaches Contact Info **


 * [|Varsity Policies] **

We have thought a lot about what are our expectations for our players. We felt we needed to identify what is important to us as coaches and to our players. We identified three important areas to focus on. The first is giving the maximum effort. We felt that no matter what the outcome of a game, we need to compete at a high level. It doesn't require any special talent so every player and coach can achieve this goal. Second, we wanted to maximize our execution. Again to be successful, we need to make the right decision on and off the court as often as possible. Lastly, we need to maximize our cooperation. We feel strongly that a team that works together will achieve more.
 * We Will **
 * Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together **

In trying to accomplish these three things, we asked three questions for each of the areas. First, what does it look like when we see it? Second, how do we practice it? And lastly, how do we reinforce it?

The last thing we considered was the setting. For now, we are focused in three places - practice, pregame, and games. Eventually we would like to add the classroom and off the court.

Below is the matrix we developed to help us better plan, execute, and reinforce the behaviors.
