23. Playing Time
Each athlete will be given an opportunity to play each game provided they have been successful in practice.
Equal playing time is not a guarantee.

24. Running Up the Score Klein rules state:
Girls- do not press when 15 pts. ahead
Boys- do not press when 20 pts. ahead
In keeping with the spirit of developing young players, we will avoid running up the score just for the sake of doing so. Players will be encouraged to set up plays and run through offensive sets in situations where we might be dominating the game. This is a difficult task for all of us, but we will make every attempt to maintain both teams sense of dignity in a unbalanced game.

26. Sportsmanship (for the Old and the Young)
On and off the courts and in the bleachers.
We should respect the efforts of all participants- both our own team members and the opponents. Refrain from making negative statements about players from our team and the opponents as well. Remember, these are young adolescents and they are someone’s child. What you say will be heard and can greatly impact a child.

27. Coaching from the bleachers:
Please refrain from speaking with your child while at a game. We want the athletes to focus on what is happening on the court.

28. Referees and Coaches
Please also refrain from speaking to the referees before, during, or after the game.
If you need to speak to the coach, please or call to set up a conference. After a game is not a good time.

29. Removal From Game
If you are removed from a game, you will then have to meet with the principal and the coach to be able to return to another game. And as a general reminder all parents have signed a code of conduct form on the physical form.

30. Athletic Bench Expectations
Athletes are expected to sit behind the bench of the team playing and support them.
No running back and forth to the concession stand/restroom during the game.
The team playing will always huddle with their coach at the conclusion of a game for closing comments.

31. High School Games
Athletes are encouraged to attend the high school games whenever possible. One of the best tools for learning the game is to watch the older teams in action.
