Youth Basketball Program Attendance Policy
**Objective:**
To ensure all participants gain the full benefit of the program while recognizing that occasional absences may be unavoidable.
#### Attendance Expectations:
1. **Commitment:**
- Participants are expected to attend all scheduled practices, games, and team meetings.
- Regular attendance is crucial for team cohesion, skill development, and fair play.
2. **Absence Notification:**
- If a participant must miss a session, a parent or guardian should notify the coach at least 24 hours in advance whenever possible.
- In case of sudden illness or emergency, notify the coach as soon as possible.
3. **Excused Absences:**
- Excused absences include illness, family emergencies, pre-scheduled family vacations, and academic obligations.
- Documentation (e.g., a note from a parent or guardian) will be required for frequent absences.
4. **Unexcused Absences:**
- Failure to notify the coach about an absence or frequent last-minute cancellations may be considered unexcused.
- Three unexcused absences will result in a discussion with the player and parents about commitment to the team, and possible ask to leave the team
5. **Flexibility:**
- We understand that summer schedules can be hectic. If a participant knows of potential scheduling conflicts ahead of time, please discuss these with the coach at the beginning of the season.
- Coaches will work with families to find the best possible solutions.
6. **Reintegration:**
- After an absence, whether excused or unexcused, it is the player’s responsibility to catch up on missed practices or team strategies. Coaches and teammates are encouraged to assist in this process.
7. **Communication:**
- Open and honest communication between coaches, players, and parents is vital. If any issues arise, please address them promptly with the coach.

This dosen’t happen for every tournament, some tournaments only offer a 3 game maximum.
