• Program expectations require discipline, commitment and effort from players, coaches,
and parents
– Build 24 strong teams through dedicated coaches providing quality instruction
– Increase the level of competition for ~220 players (160 boys and 60 girls)
• Competitive Philosophy
– Each team was reviewed by Eastview High School Varsity coaches to determine
appropriate level (A/B/C) for tournament play
– Team results are monitored throughout the season to maintain competitive
alignment
– Team goal is to be competitive while upholding the highest level of sportsmanship
– Player goal is to improve each practice and game throughout the season
– Coaches will promote player development through 8 minute minimum per player
per game
4Program Information
• Season runs October through early March where teams compete in 9 weekend
tournaments
– Many tournaments have moved to “no gate fee” however some may charge $5-
10/person for entry
– State Tournament – build up of the entire year, work towards a team goal
• Practice is where player and team will improve the most; critical for continued
development
– 2-3 times per week (date/time/location depends on facility availability)
– Weeknights between 5:30-9:00pm and weekends between 8am-4pm for 1-1.5 hours
– Please notify coaches as soon as possible if your child will miss practice
5Program Information
• Uniforms and Practice Jerseys
– Please take care of the uniforms (new last year) and practice jerseys (wash in cold
water and line dry)
• Only wear uniforms for tournaments and wear practice jerseys for practice
• Return in great shape at the end of the season to avoid any additional fees
– Players shooting/warm-up shirts will arrive with the first logo wear order
– Thank you for encouraging kids to make their uniforms work
– We can usually size kids up but currently we don't have smaller uniforms available
• Scheduling Practice and Games
– Encouraging all team managers to use Sports Engine for scheduling this year
• Logo Wear
– Basketball online store was open for 2 weeks in September; will open again in mid-
to-late October
– NEW! Eastview online store featuring apparel and accessories open year-round
6Sportsmanship
• Good sportsmanship is one of our top priorities – coaches, players, and parents
should demonstrate good sportsmanship towards referees as well as coaches,
players and parents of opposing teams
• Our Code of Conduct governs all Coach, Player and Parent behavior and should be
reviewed periodically
– All coaches, players, and parents have signed these as part of our registration
process
– All three were updated based on feedback from our end of year survey and
experience from last year
• Please utilize the “24-hour rule” to address any issues with coaches after practices
or games
7Tournaments: Eastview Sponsored
• Tournaments are the largest fundraisers for our program
– Boys Tournament: November 12th-13th, 2022
– Girls Tournament: January 7th-8th, 2023
• In order to keep program costs down and our tournaments running smoothly, each family is required to do 2
DIBS credits (~3 hours per credit) per child in the program (e.g. 3 children in the program = 6 credits)
• You have 4 days over 2 weekends to complete your DIBS credits
– Tournaments are 1 day; meaning your child only plays Saturday or Sunday and allows for you to
volunteer on the day your child does not play
• DIBSs will open when you receive an email telling you to sign-up through Eastview Athletic Association
– All position descriptions will be available on the website so please read through them thoroughly prior
to signing up so you understand what is required of each position
– For the Boys’ Tournament, Girls’ families will have first pass at DIBs positions and vice versa (Boys’
families have first pass for the Girls’ Tournament)
– If you know ahead of time that you will not be completing your DIBs, please inform us so we find or pay
others to fill those credits
• DIBs credits can only be fulfilled through our Eastview Basketball Tournaments
• Failure to complete all credits (or not fulfilling shift duties) will result in a charge of $300 ($500 per family)
