Before the game, please:

1)    Make sure the score sheets are turned in no later than 10 minutes before the game.  COACHES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCURACY OF THEIR SCORESHEETS. Technical fouls will be assessed for late or incorrect rosters.

2)    Game and warm-up balls will be provided by the host gym. Please do not allow players to use balls in areas outside of the gymnasiums.

I hope everyone has a great season.  If there is anything we can help you with, please let us know.
