Journeyman Basketball

Ensure you read the contract every session.

All players must acknowledge these rules and sign this contract before participating in teamwork sessions.

Journeyman Basketball reserves the right to add additional rules that prove to be influential to the character we expect from our athletes.

Conduct- All players must show respect for officials, coaches, teammates and spectators. Fighting, swearing, yelling and inappropriate innuendo is not tolerated. Players also must respect facilities and make efforts to keep them clean.

Attendance- Attendance is an important part of this organization, if you know you're not able to attend or you will be late for your game, then the player must first attempt communication through e-mail via team1st@comcast.net. If e-mail access is not available they must call their game coach or head coach before the posted practice time. If an athlete doesn�t show up or comes late without communicating, the player cannot play in the first half of the game and can only play a maximum of 10 minutes during the second half.

Uniforms- Athletes are responsible for their uniform. Uniforms must be turned in to the designated divisional uniform coordinator at the end of an athlete�s last game within a teamwork session. If a uniform is not returned at the end of a session, future registration will be suspended until the uniform has been returned. If you lose your jersey you must pay the fee of $80.

Participation- This league is all about participation. The JAC, JPA and designated staff encourage and support the efforts made by its athletes to volunteer their time to the organization. Furthermore, they encourage all athletes to be involved in the disbursement of JPA dues. Watch for e-mails and postings regarding opportunities to stay involved. Furthermore the JPS expect their athletes to be actively involved in their community and supply information about local charities in need of assistance to a designated JPA representative.

Dues- The player's association will have $5 dues that every player must pay. Dues are to be paid before an athlete�s 3rd game. After that, there will be a $3 increase every week it is not paid.

Technical fouls: -Fighting- automatic ejection and number of games suspended is determined by JAC.
-Inappropriate behavior- this includes displacement of anger (throwing, kicking, punching), yelling at teammates or crowd (negatively), and verbally disagreeing with referees. All previously mentioned outburst of inappropriate behavior will result in possible ejection depending on severity. Ejection will also be applied if the player receives a second technical.
-Uniform- If a player is out of uniform a 2 shot technical foul will be awarded to the opposing team before the game starts.
-Language- If an athlete is caught swearing, the player will be ejected from the game immediately and serve a 2 game suspension. This is a very serious rule especially at the church!
-Statistics- If an athlete is caught looking at statistics during a game, a technical foul will be issued. If anyone is caught a second time, the coaches or divisional stat master can decide whether or not stats will not be recorded for the game. Players cannot review statistics during practice or game unless under staff instruction.
