Parents,
Print off the appropriate sheet for your child to get signed off by teachers. As we stated in our parent meeting, Fondy Youth Basketball has a program with the FDL School District (and other schools) where the players will need to print out Accountability Sheets on a weekly basis. The sheets are to be taken to school... signed by their teachers... and then returned to the coach before a tournament. In an effort to reinforce with the players that school and their education comes first, any responses from the teachers regarding behavior... poor choices... missing assignments... or failing grades will be discussed with the coaching staff and playing time restrictions will be enforced. NOTE... Any Accountability Sheets not returned before a game regardless of reason will result in ZERO playing time in that tournament.
