News and Updates Heading Into March Break 

As we head into the march break we wish our players the best as they enjoy two weeks off of the Roundball schedule. Upon return we would just like to simply remind our players of some of the guidelines that sometimes become misunderstood between players and staff.
 
Captains: Captains please remember to always be in contact with a Roundball coordinator when any issues arise around inability to make it to a game or issues around paying registration or jersey deposits. Last minute problems most likely will not work in your favour so please speak to us regarding all matters in advance.

Drop In Rule:  A player is only allowed to drop in once. The same drop in player must pay the registration fee if they show up a second night to play. No drop in players are allowed in the playoffs.

Jerseys: Players must have jerseys on at all times. If a team has 5 players with a jersey, the sixth player or thereafter must switch jerseys with a teammate whenever they are on a court.

Shot Clock Violation: The shot clock comes into effect when a game is close heading into the fourth quarter. Shot clock and game clocks are called out throughout the course of the last 10 minutes of the fourth so players must be aware of the details of the clock.

Respect towards Referees: Simply put, every referee misses and makes big calls, even the professionals.  Please refrain from consistently nagging at Roundball referees because no referee is interested in being bias towards any of our Roundball teams. Calls go both ways and no favoritism is ever taken. For the benefit of our players, Roundball now has acquired two referees for every game throughout the rest of the season.This always has been the most difficult job in all of sporting so please recognize and respect our team of reffs.

Ron Calizon has been reffing for Roundball for four consecutive years and also has experience reffing for other recreational programs. And newly aquired Payton Waywhite has experience reffing for both the highschool and elementary school districts in Richmond and we are glad to have his experience further benefit our program.

If anyone has any questions or concerns regarding these details please do not hesistate to speak to a Roundball coordinator.



Best of luck throughout the rest of the season,

Roundball Basketball
