The Biddy Biddy Defenders played outstandingly well all season long.  Their reward was granted.  The Lady Defenders brought game every time they hit the court. Their game play was noted by the coaches of the opposing teams.  Even high school coaches scouting for their school teams, noted three of our ladies would be very welcome members of their teams

With great love and respect, we the coaching staff for this year's season say Thank You, Parents, and especially to our players. Thanks and rest up for the new season is just around the corner.

St. Dorothy School Athletic Program and Guidelines

Organization, Expectations, and Responsibilities

Since school-sponsored athletic programs are an extension of the school and its curriculum, these programs are subject to the authority of the pastor by virtue of his office, the principal, and any pertinent policies of the local school board.

Eligibility requirements are as follows:

  • Only current students of St. Dorothy School are eligible to play on our school teams.

  • School-issued accident insurance must be on file.

  • Parental permission forms must be completed and on file.

  • Verification of student fitness must be on file.

  • Participation fees must be paid in full.

  • Students may not be registered on more than one team per season.

  • An athlete who was absent from school due to illness may not attend practice or play in a game on the day of absence.

  • Student athletes are expected to maintain satisfactory academic standing.

  • Student athletes who have been suspended from school may not play in a game or participate in practice during the time of the suspension.

Practices and Games:

Practices are not to exceed three hours per week.  There should be no more than two games per week.

Maximum Games per Season:

Grade 5 –       
10 to 15 basketball games and two tournaments (not more than 20 games total)
Grade 6 -       
5 to 20 basketball games and two tournaments (not more that 25 games total)
Grades 7 & 8 -          
20 to 30 basketball games and three tournaments (not more than 35 games total)

  • League playoffs which follow the regular season are counted as one tournament.

  • Practice games, played before the start of the season, are limited to ONE game.  Scrimmage games, prior to or during the season, are limited to THREE games. These games would be included in the maximum totals.

  • Warm-up and cool-down time of not more than 20 minutes can be added to practice sessions.

 
Parent/Guardian:  Expectations and Responsibilities:

Parents play an important role in the success of the student athlete and also in the success of the team.

Parents should be expected to support and encourage their child’s efforts.  Attending games and cheering the team on is a show of support; however, parents are reminded to act in a responsible manner and show good Christian sportsmanship.

Parents should realize that they can and may be asked to leave a game or tournament if they are not able to maintain a standard of acceptable behavior.

Parents will provide transportation for their children to and from games and practices.  Coaches are not covered with liability insurance for chauffeur service; therefore, they may not transport athletes at any time.

 

Responsibilities toward COACHES:

The student athlete shows RESPECT for coaches and cooperates with them fully.  This respect is also given to members of their team, opponents, and officials of the sport.  The athlete also respects the spectators and fans.

Coaches should give each athlete an equal opportunity to participate.  Coaches are responsible for communicating the schedule of practices, games, or any cancellations or alteration of schedule to the students and their parents in a timely manner.

Players are expected to wear the uniform, all proper safety equipment, and any other expected attire.

Coaches should discipline inappropriate student behavior or disrespect.
