Div. 2 - 7th & 8th Grades

Mission Statement:

“To develop fundamentally strong basketball players with a focus on the basics of Basketball through teamwork and fair play.”

In-town mission statement notes: Using spirited practices and competitive games the in-town Program players will receive instruction and guidance to achieve a greater understanding and passion for the sport of basketball. All games and practices are designed to allow the participants an equal chance to participate, to receive instruction and better enhance their skills, as well as have fun while playing basketball. The emphasis of the in-town basketball program is for all kids to play regardless of their skill level.

• ETHICS:
  • Fans/parents/players/coaches are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly manner. Referees and Division Directors will not tolerate an unruliness. Any person behaving in an unacceptable way will be asked to leave the gym. Failure to do so will result in forfeit of the game to the associated team.
  • The HEAD COACH and League Director are responsible for the behavior of their fans/parents.
  • Referees will be trained that they are not to address any fan issue. If the referee feels that action must be taken against a fan, they will either contact the on-site director or the head coach.
  • Any fan related issue must be reported to the BMYBL Board as soon as possible.

• SPORTSMANSHIP: This league is for ALL of the kids. All players should get an equal amount of playing time and be treated with respect. The goal of every coach should be to ensure that all children that participate will be glad that they did and will be looking forward to playing in the BMYBL next season.

Reminder: This is a recreational league. Please allow all players the same opportunity to learn and play regardless of his/her skill level. Encourage all players during and after all activities.

Coaches are expected to be positive role models and support the players, coaches and referees in the program!
