- Players will need to be committed to the team, and plan to attend all regularly scheduled practices and games. (Practice times are Monday 7AM, Wed 3:30 - 5:00, Thur 5:00 - 6:30 ----- Shooting practices are optional and are Monday 3:30 - 5:00, Fri 7AM when we are not playing that weekend)
- Players are expected to inform the coach in advance if they cannot make a practice or a tournament. (Phone me at 567-4613 or email mcooper@ebus.sd91.bc.ca)
- Players are expected to be positive and supportive of their teammates.
- Players are expected to keep up their grades in class - student athletics is a privilege which is earned by effort on and off the court.
- Players are representatives of their community and are expected to behave appropriately when travelling.
No players will attend every game or tournament. Players who miss practices or fall behind in their schoolwork may miss games as a result. If you have a previous obligation or are sick please let me know so that a spot can be made available for others.
We will be trying to get everyone plenty of playing opportunities. Team rosters will be limited to 12 players maximum for games. In some cases an additional 3 players may be invited, depending on the availability of space on our buses. All players will attend the Williams Lake tournament to begin the season.

All players will need to pay a $350 fee for the season. Players who do not make the payment will not be allowed to travel with the team. (The fee for the Williams Lake trip is part of this total, not in addition to.) If players engage in fund-raising, parents may be reimbursed in part or in whole - depending on the amount of fund-raising done by each player.
SNIGS will not travel until they have taken care of their obligations at the office.
