Coaches Corner

In a bid to streamline our practices and keep everyone safe, please adhere to the following rules:

1. No one other than the designated players and coaches can be on the basketball court – this is based on your time slot
2. Parents and siblings must be away from the court and seated (if seating available) – NO SIBLINGS ON THE COURT – this MUST be enforced
3. Players arriving early or staying later MUST follow the same rules ie be seated or away from the court without disturbing the practice
4. Please be courteous to your fellow coaches by having your players use only your designated portion of the court
5. Parents must supervise their kids (players and siblings) during non-practice times when at a practice facility

Coaches, please stress to parents that accidents (eg: getting hit with a basketball) can happen in the gym if someone is not alert or careful.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to strive for a very positive experience for the kids.

From the C-Hoops Board

- Each team is to provide a scorekeeper (parent, sibling, …) to keep track of their OWN points, fouls and timeouts taken.
- The referees will consult with the scorekeepers in the event of any scoring disputes.
- Home team is to provide a scoreboard operator, who takes inputs from the scorekeepers as needed.
- Parents shall not enter the court to speak to the scoreboard operator, scorekeepers, referees or opposing coaches. They should speak to their own coach during a stoppage in play if they have a concern about the game.

With 10 players or less, substitutions may only be made at 5 min intervals. You cannot sub during timeouts unless they coincide with a 5 min interval or due to an injury.

Have your players ready for the 5 min substitution. If you take too long, you will either be charged with a timeout or you will have to wait for the next 5 min break.

All divisions shall shoot free-throws at half-time.
- Each player present takes one shot
- Over the line violations do apply.
- Made shots get added to the score.
