Basketball Games on School Calendar/Practices on Athletics Blog

It is once again the wonderful time of the year when CCS prepares for basketball.  Gr 5-7 Boys and Girls Basketball permissions (and game schedule view on school calendar) will go home later this week.  Please return your permission as soon as possible.  Attached will be a practice schedule (also found online on the Athletics blog) so please make note on your calendars the days you will be practicing as there may be days there are No Practices.
Attendance at practices is important!  Here is a copy of the Athletics contact that students commit to when they join CCS teams.



As a member of this team, I will:



* Attend practice and be on time. If I am unable to attend, it is my job to tell the coach before the practice. Missed practices may affect playing time.



* Participate to the best of my ability in practices and games- remember that our aims at Cloverdale Catholic are to play hard, smart and as a team.



* Work on skills at home that will help me to play my sport at a level that is complimentary to my team. If I know I need to work on a certain skill area, I will be willing to put in some work at home to improve that area.



* Treat others with justice- use positive talk to compliment and encourage my teammates. Negative talk kills team spirit.



* Realize that in team sports, the good of the team comes before the good of an individual. Our talents are gifts- we should use them for the Glory of God.



* Realize that the adults involved want the best for you. Respect for coaches, referees and parents are an absolute requirement for membership on CCS teams.



* Understand that during playoffs our goal is to play hard, smart, and as a team.  That means my game time could be more or less than others on our team; regardless I will do my best every time I play.
