Week 1 Update & Annual Food Drive
Connecticut Basketball Family Members:
The wait is almost over… Three final reminders as we head into weekend play…
1. Our Annual Food Drive Is This Weekend
Details are below, but participation is simple:
- Whether playing at home or away, please have your child bring dry goods to the game.
- When they arrive at the gym, all they need do is drop off the dry goods behind the scorers table.
- Our Club Presidents and Coaches will find a volunteer parent — hopefully you — from your town to drop the food off at the nearest food pantry (and take a few pictures of the kids).
2. Game Day Issues/Reminders
- Home team wears white; away team wears their colors. (For neutral-site games, please check the schedule to see whether you are home or away.)
- Three coaches are permitted on the bench, but — only one coach should be communicating with the referee, and your scorekeeper does not count against bench coaches.
- All technical fouls are reported to the Executive Committee; coaches who are ejected must serve a mandatory three-game suspension.
- Scorekeeping. Per CIAC rules, the home scorekeeper is the official scorekeeper.
3. Remember the Prime Directive
- Be the bigger person.
- Be the answer in situations when tensions run hot.
- Always communicate with respect.
Onward Together
