I have to pass on some bad news.

 

I would like you all to contact your Mini coaches and inform them that we received a complaint from the caretaker of Cedarbrae school. 

Some siblings of players got into the back part of the school and removed footwear and destroyed name tags and other school equipment.

 

As you know, we are in jeopardy of loosing facilities if this kind of behavior carries on.  I understand that coaches coach and they can't be in the halls supervising siblings, but they can give warnings to the parents prior to the game that nobody is allowed outside of the gym other than to go to the washroom.

 

If we get another complaint from Cedarbrae in particular but any other facility, we are going to have to cancel teams.  We do not have the luxury of an overabundance of facilities.  We have to teach people to respect school board property or they will not have a place for their kids to play basketball.

 

Your cooperation in getting the word out to everyone is appreciated

Hi Folks,

I'm sorry this a bit of a repeat of a previous email but we need to establish ground rules with the coaches before we go much farther.

 

Would you please pass on the following information to all your coaches as soon as possible:

 

1. For this season I would like the website to be our means of communicating with your coaches.  Schedule changes, clinic info etc will all be posted on the home page of the website.  Please have your coaches check evry day if possible to make sure they have the latest information.  You will notice there are two schedule changes posted already.

I will also have a message on the game score phone in number, 691-5696, to back up the website information. <more>

Hi Everyone,

To refresh everyone's memory, NCCP certification is no longer a requirement of Basketball Alberta for a coach to take a team to Youth Provincials.  It has been replaced with CCCP (Community Coach Certification Program).

 

Coaches with NCCP certification are exempt from taking a CCCP clinic for the 2006/2007 season only.  There's nothing to stop an NCCP certified coach from taking a CCCP clinic however.  In some cases it might actually be very beneficial.

 

All other registered CMBA coaches and assistant coaches must take a CCCP clinic.  Clinics are age specific. <more>

Parking at SAIT

Paking will be validated by SAIT at the Wellness centre (the buzz doors where we enter the gym) for CMBA players, spectators, coaches and referees using paking lot P1 ONLY.

 

Parking lot P1 is south of the Jubilee Auditorium, overlooking downtown.

 

SAIT will NOT validate parking tickets from any other parking lot.

 

Patrons will have 15 minutes from the time the ticket is validated to exit the parking lot.  After that charges will apply.  So make sure everyone knows to validate their parking ticket only when leaving SAIT.

 

Please inform all your coaches of this procedure immediately so that the information can get to the families before we start games at SAIT on Friday September 30th.
