Sacramento Yellow Jackets Player & Parent Expectations

 

As proud members of the Sacramento Yellow Jackets organization, all players and parents

are expected to uphold the highest standards of commitment, respect, and sportsmanship

both on and off the court.

events.

 

• Communication: Notify your coach in advance if you are unable to attend a practice, game,

or event.

 

• Commitment to Growth: Players are encouraged to seek additional training opportunities to

improve their skills and overall game understanding.

 

• Playing Time: There are no guaranteed playing time rules in AAU/Travel basketball. Playing

time is earned through effort, attitude, and performance.

registered for.

from negative comments toward players, coaches, or officials.

 

• 24-Hour Rule: If you have a concern or issue, please wait 24 hours after a game or practice
