Player Development The Player File Head Coaches at every level will keep a file of each player to include the following: - Goal Setting Work Sheet - Academic Progress - Life Goals and Aspirations - Practice Logs - Game Notes This file will be kept for the duration of the players career and passed from coach to coach as the player progresses through the program. The Goal Setting Work Sheet will be filled out with the assistance of the head coach and assistant coaches after selection to the team and prior to the first organized team activity. Coaches will then review the worksheet every two weeks to asses progress and adjust goals on a new work sheet. Academic Progress will be reviewed and updated monthly and should include a graduation plan once the player enters high school. Coaches should be aware at all time of the academic progress for each player and will accommodate any player requiring academic tutoring. Note: If at any time a teacher or parent suggests academic tutoring, it will take precedence over any practice, game or team activity and every effort should be made to bring a player up to speed with regard to basketball. If the missed practice(s) will result in a decrease in playing, it must be cleared through the Head Varsity Coach and noted on the WAR Report. 35
