Please have teams ready to play at least 10 minutes before your game is to begin. This will allow us to stay on schedule and hopefully prevent games from going later than scheduled.
Code of Conduct – Appropriate conduct is expected at all times. S.A Summer Hoops reserves the right to handle any and all conduct problems in any way that it desires to assure that a common sense standard of conduct is maintained at all times by all participants.
As a common courtesy we ask that teams that play in the last game of the night help to clean the facilities before they leave. Simply taking a few minutes to clean will save the host school the extra effort of cleaning up.
As mentioned on the schedule, the first team listed will be the HOME team and will be responsible for doing the game book, which is provided by the host school. The second team listed is the VISITING team and is responsible for running the game clock. Teams can request to switch responsibilities if both teams agree.
Please advise parents and fans that there will be a $2.00 per adult and $1.00 per student /senior admission fee for all spectators. Children under 5 will be free. There is a $5.00 maximum admission limit for all immediate family members (living in the same house). All players, listed coaches, referees, book/clock keepers, and line judges are free.
