Parents

We are thrilled to be working with a great group of parents and hope that you are also excited to be involved in Hoop Dreams. 

1. Hoop Dreams will be the epitome of class, emphasizing good sportsmanship before, during and after games by ALL parties.  If parents show poor sportsmanship, their children will ‘copy’ their behavior – no matter what the coach may stress.   Mixed signals are unacceptable and actions speak louder than words.  Any words spoken by parents should only be positive and encouraging.
        
2. Hoop Dreams parents and fans must respect officials, opposing coaches, and opposing players.  Our coaches will happily address any concerns, including those pertaining to officials or opposing coaches.
   
3. Hoop Dreams will be “coached” by official and experienced coaches.  We will not tolerate any shouting of directions from parents and/or fans.   Hearing multiple sets of instructions confuses players in a game.   Children are easily distracted and usually do not perform as well when parents/fans scream directions from the stands.
