🏀 Important J-Hoops Reminders
- No personal basketballs on game days. Each court has basketballs available. Personal basketballs create distractions for players competing in games.
- Sportsmanship matters! We ask all players, coaches, and parents to demonstrate respect for teammates, opponents, and officials.
- 24-Hour Cooling-Off Period: Please remember our league policy regarding concerns involving coaches, officials, or league administration.
- TeamSnap: All schedules and important league updates are available on TeamSnap.
As the competition continues to heat up, let's remember what makes J-Hoops special:
developing skills, building friendships, learning teamwork, and having FUN!
Thank you to all of our volunteer coaches, officials, parents, and players for making this another terrific season.
We look forward to seeing everyone on the courts throughout the week and again on
Sunday, October 25!
Players Play, Coaches Coach, Officials Officiate, and Parents Cheer!
Have a great week of basketball!
