General Information

We intend to provide all players with equal playing time the roster may have 8 to 10 or more people.

Purpose of Playing MAYAA

The purpose of playing MAYAA basketball is as follows:

1. Have Fun!

2. Raise the your child’s level of play

3. Show how to be a good sportsman

Winning

Winning is preferred to losing, but it is not our focus. We want your child to develop as players; nothing more and nothing less. If we win. . . that is great! If we lose. . . what can we do better.

It is our goal that all the boys & girls in this program become better players by playing against each other.

Expectations

We expect our players to do the following:

1. Attempt to make every practice possible

2. Come prepared to work hard

3. Bring a positive attitude everywhere you go, you are representing your team

4. Build friendships with the other players and coaches.

We want players that are serious about learning basketball.

Parents

1. Getting your sons & daughter’s to and from practice.

2. Supporting your Sons & daughter’s involvement and development in basketball.

3. Parents are the most important Resource!

Practice

It is critical that all players make as many practices as possible in order to keep up with both offensive and defensive sets. It is difficult to put a player in a game if they don’t know the plays. It is even more difficult (if not impossible) to put a player in the game if they have missed practice altogether.

Practices will run from 1 to 1- 1/2 hours. Since there are gym time issues, practice times may have to be changed from time to time. Coaches will do their best to keep players informed of practice time and date changes. Please check the web site for current times.

We do know that players have other commitments during the season, all we ask is that you make an effort to show up on a consistent basis.

Uniforms

All Player will be giving a game jersey for them to keep after the season..

Gym Time

Gym Time is very important to our success and every year it is harder and harder to keep. So please help after games keep the gyms clean and please pick up your children on time so no one is hanging out after games and practice.
