Insurance Facts

Is my child already covered?KISD has a policy on every athlete in the program with a $500 deductible

Insurance Facts

Yes, unless the parent purchases the voluntary student insurance

Yes, the KISD policy is a secondary policy

Insurance Facts

What if the parents have no other insurance?The district policy will pay as the primary, minus the $500.00 deductible

Insurance Facts

If the voluntary student insurance is purchased, will this affect the deductible?Yes, this will normally cover most of the deductible

Insurance Facts

Emergency Information

Please keep all information current for your athlete’s file. Your athlete’s information card travels with us to and from the games. If there is an emergency we will need to notify you immediately.

Equipment

The school will issue: Dark and light jersey Shorts Shooting shirt

All equipment needs to be returned as it was issued. Check periodically your athlete’s equipment to make sure he/she is taking proper care of it.

Extras related to dress:

A good pair of basketball shoes are recommended for the season. Try to avoid black soles as they mark up the gym floor.

Stay with Schindewolf colors: navy, silver, white, black

We do not want a lot of extra add ons – such as multi color shoe laces, ribbons, feathers.

More…

No jewelry of any kind is allowed in the sport of basketball- not a good time to get your ears pierced.

Avoid getting fancy nails during season- makes it more difficult to shoot and catch the ball.

No type of metal/plastic can be in your hair.

Care of Uniforms

Air dry only or hang out to dry

Do not dry uniforms in heated dryer

Injuries

released and readmitted to playing status.

Coach will fill out a first report of injury form.Medications need to be brought by the parent to the Nurse’s office.

Character Development

We seek to develop through athletics positive and productive young people who can succeed in life.

Great emphasis is placed on:

Character, integrity, responsibility

and respect

Sportsmanship (for the Old and the Young)

We want to display good sportsmanship at all times- both on and off the courts and in the bleachers.

We should respect the efforts of all participants- both our own team members and the opponents. Refrain from making negative statements about players from our team and the opponents as well. Remember, these are young adolescents and they are someone’s child. What you say will be heard and can greatly impact a child.

Running Up the Score

Klein rules state:

Girls- do not press when 15 pts. ahead

Boys- do not press when 20 pts. ahead

In keeping with the spirit of developing young players, we will avoid running up the score just for the sake of doing so. Players will be encouraged to set up plays and run through offensive sets in situations where we might be dominating the game. This is a difficult task for all of us, but we will make every attempt to maintain both teams sense of dignity in a unbalanced game.

Coaching from the bleachers:Please refrain from speaking

with your child while at a game. We want the athletes

to focus on what is happening on the court.

Referees and Coaches

Please also refrain from speaking to the referees before, during, or after the game.

If you need to speak to the coach, please email or call to set up a conference. After a game is not a good time.

Athletic Bench Expectations

Athletes are expected to sit behind the bench of the team playing and support them.

No running back and forth to the concession stand/restroom during the game.

The team playing will always huddle with their coach at the conclusion of a game for closing comments.

Communication with Athletes

Handing Out of Information:

Written information for team members should be cleared by the coach, athletic coordinator, and principal prior to giving out to athletes.

Non School Activities

U.I.L. activities take precedence over non-school activities wherever possible

Please notify the coach well in advance of possible conflicts

High School Games

Athletes are encouraged to attend the high school games whenever possible. One of the best tools for learning the game is to watch the older teams in action.

girls is set for January 25th.

players to attend this night
