Intramural Basketball 2012 Captains Meeting

Parking All players will park in the F Street lot and enter the school through the South Lobby Doors. The door that is closest to the pool is usually the one that is unlocked. Don’t prop an outside door open. If door is locked ask me to unlock it.

Lost/Stolen Items DO NOT bring anything into the school that is valuable! LaPorte High School is not responsible for lost or stolen items. If you want to keep it…. Keep it in your car.

ID Cards All players must have their IMB ID cards to get in. Lost ID’s can be replaced in F-12 for $1 during the school day. Replacement ID’s at the door are $3 and require a school issued photo ID.

Moodle Encourage all players to check the moodle site. You can find it under “LPHS Athletics” I will post Weather/Cancellation info on the site as well as post rankings and game results after every game.

Cancellations If school is cancelled, so is IMB. If school dismisses early, IMB is cancelled. By chance if weather gets bad after the school day, check the moodle site for cancellation notice. We will make up days at the end of the regular season.

Player Expectations School rules still apply at IMB. No fighting – Police will be called. Officials and door security are considered staff members. If you swear or confront a staff member you will be subject to school rules and suspended from school. All players if asked to leave school grounds will do so, if not Police will be called. All players will observe Sportsmanship at all time.

Officiating You may talk to an official during the game. You MAY NOT criticize an official or confront an official at anytime. Poor sportsmanship will result in being kicked out of the league.
