At ABA Supreme, our sole and entire existence is to help our youth reach their basketball dreams. Being a part of a competitive basketball team is extremely demanding and time consuming for players, coaches and parents. ABA Supreme will emphasize the importance of family, friends, religion, schoolwork, and improvement of players. ABA Supreme believes family is the foundation and number one priority of our teams. We will strive for strong relationships between our players and their families, as well as their extended ABA Supreme family. It’s critical that everyone involved – players, coaches and parents are 110% dedicated to ABA Supreme and our purpose. Coaches will be more than willing to accommodate players and parents as much as possible and are willing to work out any situation at hand. ABA Supreme players will be expected to work hard in the classroom as well as on the basketball court. Good grades are expected by all ABA Supreme players and will be checked regularly throughout the season. If a player receives a poor grade, an assisted, creative measure will take place to improve the grade. One of our many goals at ABA Supreme is for our players to one day, receive athletic scholarships and possess a solid GPA throughout their careers. ABA Supreme coaches will spend time making personal relationships with players and mentoring them. We will speak consistently about good life skills, decision-making and other peer influences. Our final goal at ABA Supreme is to dramatically improve each player each season. Our focuses will increase player’s skill levels, confidence, competitive drive and desire to win. It is expected of each player to transfer that knowledge into his/her will to improve. Our Commitment ABA Supreme will be a 5 to 6 month commitment to basketball. There will be two opportunities to participate on an ABA Supreme basketball team: "Winter" The winter season will run from October through March. "Spring/Summer" The spring/summer season will run from April through August. Our Players ABA Supreme players will be expected to behave morally and ethically on and off the basketball court. Players shall understand they are representing not only themselves, but also their family and their ABA Supreme family. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Players shall always value character over winning. Players shall always consider the personal safety of all players. Players shall display the utmost respect for opposing players and coaches. Players shall demonstrate the highest respect for opposing fans. Players shall exhibit the highest respect for game officials. Players shall maintain a ‘C’ average or above throughout the academic school year and shall always place academic success over athletic success. Players shall refrain from the use of any alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs. Players shall be exemplary models on and off the court and remain aware that they are representatives of ABA Supreme at all times. While traveling to and from athletic facilities, players should project a positive image in their appearance and conduct. They shall also respect transportation resources, hotel rooms, and gym facilities. They shall be personally responsible for any damage. Players shall respectfully adhere to any assigned curfew prior to tournament games, both at home and in hotels. Our Parents We are always excited to work with a great group of parents and hope that you will also be excited to be involved in ABA Supreme. We ask that you talk to your player and find out what they hope to gain from this experience and then release them to pursue their goals. 1. 2. 3. 4. ABA Supreme will be the epitome of class, emphasizing good sportsmanship before, during and after games by ALL parties. If parents show poor sportsmanship, their children will ‘copy’ their behavior – no matter what the coach may stress. Mixed signals are unacceptable and actions speak louder than words. Any words spoken by parents should only be positive and encouraging. ABA Supreme parents and fans must respect officials, opposing coaches, and opposing players. Our coaches will happily address any concerns, including those pertaining to officials or opposing coaches. ABA Supreme teams will be “coached” by knowledgeable and experienced coaches. We will not tolerate any shouting of directions from parents and/or fans. Hearing multiple sets of instructions confuses players in a game. Children are easily distracted and usually do not perform as well when parents/fans scream directions from the stands. If conflict arises please use your best judgment in handling it. As a rule, we ask that parents not approach a coach immediately following a game. Emotions are generally high for both at that time, which is never a good time to discuss an issue. Also, it’s not always best for parents and coaches to discuss parental concerns in front of the player. We ask that you contact your coach to discuss your issue and set up a meeting if necessary.
