Common Sense Ground Rules

FOR ANY FAMILY OR TEAM TO LAST THERE HAS TO BE COMMON SENSE GROUND RULES THAT EVERY PLAYER AND PARENT FOLLOW.

Each family must sign a Parent Code of Conduct agreement and commit to following the guidelines set within. This code of conduct contract is at the heart of our synergy as a team and a basketball community.

Common Sense Ground Rules:

if you're a parent .... be a parent , not a coach.
Coaches have complete leadership of team and player playing time
Championships are won at practice....make an "A" effort to have your child at every practice.
Be a role model for the Richfield players. Mentor them by your actions and sportsmanship.

These are just a few commitments we all make as RGBA parents.
