This last week we began installing our base offense and defensive approach, learning out of bounds plays, and reviewing game situations. As much as we've started, we are still behind the schedule I was targeting for preseason. We have three more practices until our first game next week and have much more to put in, so it's important everyone be there for these next practices.

SSYO Schedule
The league has published the schedules for this season. We will be playing in the Boys Cub Gold - Blue Division. Please find attached the current copies of the game schedule and driving directions to game locations for 2017-18. There will also be a link to the latest schedule and directions on the side bar of the team web site.
Aligning Expectations
As I have done in past, I will be handing out player contracts again this year that will spell out team expectations and require commitments from players and parents (a link is on the team web site on the Documents tab, for reference). This also is the primary tool for addressing concerns. We will review this at the team meeting, Monday, November 27th.
TeamSnap
As I mentioned a couple weeks ago, now that game schedules are available from the league, we will be adding TeamSnap to the list of communications methods regarding the calendar. Look for a separate email invite in the next couple days.
Reference Material
Also in the next couple days, I will be sending copies of some of the plays and approaches we are doing on the court for you and your player to review. These will only be made available through email and not on the team web site. I expect there will be more materials that I send throughout the season for your reference.
