To that end, we are implementing the following policy for all of our Youth Sports Programs. Teams participating in any Norman Parks & Recreation Sports League will not choose team names that are considered to be offensive to any segment of our population. The City of Norman Sports Coordinator has the final say on what is considered offensive. This policy goes into effect immediately. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to the above policy when naming your teams. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Stephanie Bennett at 405-292- 9703 or [email protected]. 2 REMINDERS FROM YOUR CHILD: Your child’s success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of I’m a child parent you are. But having an athlete It’s just a game My coach is a volunteer that is coachable, respectful, a great The referee is human teammate, mentally tough, resilient and No college scholarships or professional tries their best IS a direct reflection of contracts will be offered today your parenting. “Based on psychological research, the three healthiest statements moms and dads can make as [kids] perform are: Before the Competition: Have fun. Play hard. I love you. After the competition: Did you have fun? I’m proud of you. I love you.” Source: www.fulleryouthinstitute.org “The only six words parents need to say to their kids about sports (((or any performance)))” —Brad M. Griffin 3 As a volunteer coach in the City of Norman Youth Sports Program you are expected to set a positive example in words and actions. Any volunteer coach who is involved in a verbal or physical altercation, or an occurrence of unsportsmanlike conduct will be subject to disciplinary action. COACH EXPECTATIONS I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win. I will treat each player as an individual, remembering the large range of emotional and physical development for the same age group. I will do my best to provide a safe playing environment for my players. I will promise to review and practice basic first aid principles needed to treat injuries of my players. I will do my best to organize practices that are fun and challenging for all my players. I will lead by example in demonstrating fair play and sportsmanship to all my players. I will provide a sports environment for my team that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and I will refrain from their use at all youth sports events. I will be knowledgeable in the rules of each sport that I coach and I will teach these rules to my players. I will use those coaching techniques appropriate for all of the skill that I teach. I will remember that I am a youth sports coach and that the game is for children and not adults. COACH AND REFEREE INTERACTION Only the head coach or designated head coach is allowed to address the referee. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT includes but is not limited to: 1. Arguing with a referee or other game officials after the coach has been instructed to return to the bench; 2. Assistant coach leaving their position to argue with the referee or other game official; 3. Taunting a referee, game official, coach, another parent or spectator, or player. 4. Wearing anything that endorses drugs, or sexually incentive clothing or headwear. A. League officials have the final authority regarding this matter. NOTE: Post-game ejections are a one game suspension from the team bench. PENALTY: Warning. If the behavior continues the offender shall be ejected from the facility. Two ejections during the season will result in the offender receiving a permanent suspension from all facilities hosting a city of Norman Junior Jammer Basketball League sanctioned event for the remainder of the season. 6. Words or actions meant to incite or attempt to incite spectator or player demonstrations; 7. Words or actions meant to intimidate; 8. Use of bullhorns or amplifiers for coaching purposes during the game; 9. Using profane, obscene, offensive, or vulgar language; 10. Engaging in offensive behavior; 11. Abusive, harmful, or unwarranted disruptions to the game; 12. Throwing equipment in anger; 13. Verbal disrespect directed towards a referee, game official, league official, player, coach, or spectator; 14. Making intentional contact with a referee; 15. Words or actions meant to provoke a player, coach, referee, game official, or spectator to harm another. 16. Using tobacco or being intoxicated on alcohol or any illegal substance while coaching. PENALTY: a. Regular Season: The offender shall be ejected from the facility property and receive a one game suspension. If the behavior continues, the offender will not be permitted back on any facility property hosting a Junior Jammer Basketball League game. b. Post Season: The offender shall be ejected from the facility property and will not be permitted back on any facility property hosting a Junior Jammer Basketball League game. Any concerted activity that is in poor taste as determined by the Sports Coordinator, Recreation Supervisor, and/or Sports Supervisor will result in forfeiture and possible suspension from further participation. Coaches, parents, spectators, or players who threaten, physically harm, or abuse any player, umpire, league official, or spectator at any time for any reason will be subject to immediate dismissal from the facility property and effective immediately, suspended from all city of Norman Junior Jammer Basketball League sanctioned events for the remainder of the season. 4 I will encourage good sportsmanship from fellow players, coaches, officials, and parents at every game and practice by demonstrating good sportsmanship. I will attend every practice and game that I can, and will notify my coach if I cannot. I will expect to receive a fair amount of playing time. I will do my very best to listen and learn from my coaches. I will treat my coaches, other players, officials, and fans with respect regardless of race, sex, creed, or abilities and I will expect to be treated accordingly. I deserve to have fun during my sports experience and will alert parents or coaches if it stops being fun! I deserve to play in an environment that is free of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and expect adults to refrain from their use at all youth sports events. I will encourage my parents to be involved with my team in some capacity because it’s important to me. I will do my very best in school. I will remember that sports is an opportunity to learn and have fun! I understand that any unsportsmanlike conduct, showing disrespect to referees, game officials, coaches, spectators, or other players can result in the following disciplinary actions: Verbal warning Ejection from the current game Suspension for future games Being expelled from the league Team Name Date 5 When it comes to coaching youth sports, communication and organization are two of the most important components. Keeping lines of communication open between you and your parents AND having a plan for each practice, game, and team event will aid in helping your season run smoothly. With this in mind we are providing some helpful tips to assist you as you begin a new sports season. Contact Your Parents ASAP Once you have received your team roster, contact your parents as soon as possible. Parents have been eager to hear from their child’s coach. Host a Coach-Parent Team Meeting This can actually be done towards the end of your first practice while players are finishing up with your assistant coach. Introduce yourself and share about your excitement for the season. Make sure you have everyone’s correct contact information. Have everyone fill out and sign an “Authorization to Seek Medical Treatment” Form. Communicate expectations clearly: Practice days, times, and location. Stress the importance of parents letting you know when their child will not be at practices or games. What equipment is provided and what parents will need to provide along with other equipment recommendations. Stress the importance of having at least one parent at the games. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated by you (the coach), the referees, and the Sports Supervisor (refer to the “Parent and Spectator Expectations” section in the Guidelines and Rules book). Recruit a team parent (or two) to coordinate the snack schedule, water for practices and games, and team events. Encourage parents to practice with their child at home. Uniforms Rec League Teams: All recreation league players will wear an official Junior Jammer Basketball League Program jersey offered through the Whittier Recreation Center. The cost per jersey is $20 for those who need to purchase one. Team League Teams: Cost effectiveness is important.

APPROVED RULING—Approved rulings that appear in this text (shown as A.R.) are designed to interpret the appropriate rules and definitions and to apply them in the appropriate context. Statisticians should also make an effort to understand the NCAA playing rules of the game and to match that awareness with the rules for statisticians. In the approved rulings listed in each section, players A1, A2, etc., are on same team (Team A), while players B1, B2, etc., are on the opposing team (Team B).

    Analysis of Different Types of Turnovers Between Winning and Losing Performances in Men’S NCAA Basketball

    한국컴퓨터정보학회논문지 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information Vol. 25 No. 7, pp. 135-142, July 2020 JKSCI https://doi.org/10.9708/jksci.2020.25.07.135 Analysis of different types of turnovers between winning and losing performances in men’s NCAA basketball 1)Doryung Han*, Mark Hawkins**, HyongJun Choi*** *Honorary principal professor, Major of Security secretary Studies Continuing Education Center, Kyonggi University, Seoul, Korea **Head coach, Performance Analysis of Sport, University of Wales, UK ***Associate Professor, Dept. of Physical Education (Performance Analysis in Sport), Dankook University, Yongin, Korea [Abstract] Basketball is a highly complex sport, analyses offensive and defensive rebounds, free throw percentages, minutes played and an efficiency rating. These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).
  • Basketball Rules

    Basketball Rules

    Basketball Rules 1. Each team consists of five players. Basketball is played by two teams. The purpose of each team is to throw the ball into it’s own basket and to prevent the other team from scoring. 2. A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and passes through. A goal from the field counts 2 points for the team into whose basket the ball is thrown. A goal from a free throw attempt is credited to the thrower and counts 1 point for his or her team. A goal made from beyond the 3-point arc counts 3 points . 3. Jump Ball – This play takes place in the center of the court to start the game. The referee tosses the ball up between two opposing players. Players try to out-jump each other and tap the ball to a teammate. 4. Violation – Minor rule infraction such as: • Traveling – taking more than one step before passing or dribbling the ball. • Stepping out of bounds. • Throwing the ball out of bounds. • Double Dribble – dribbling, stopping the dribble, and starting the dribble again; dribbling the ball with both hands for more than one dribble. • 3 Seconds – offensive player with or without the ball may not be in the lane for more than 3 seconds. • Over and Back – once the ball has crossed over the center line, the offense may not go back over it. • Palming the Ball – permitting the ball to come to rest in one hand while dribbling. * On a violation the other team gains possession of the ball on the sideline or baseline.

    Measuring Production and Predicting Outcomes in the National Basketball Association Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Steven Milano, M.S. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Brian Turner Sarah Fields Stephen Cosslett Copyright by Michael Steven Milano 2011 Abstract Building on the research of Loeffelholz, Bednar and Bauer (2009), the current study analyzed the relationship between previously compiled team performance measures and the outcome of an “un-played” game. While past studies have relied solely on statistics traditionally found in a box score, this study included scheduling fatigue and team depth. Multiple models were constructed in which the performance statistics of the competing teams were operationalized in different ways. Absolute models consisted of performance measures as unmodified traditional box score statistics. Relative models defined performance measures as a series of ratios, which compared a team‟s statistics to its opponents‟ statistics. Possession models included possessions as an indicator of pace, and offensive rating and defensive rating as composite measures of efficiency. Play models were composed of offensive plays and defensive plays as measures of pace, and offensive points-per-play and defensive points-per-play as indicators of efficiency. Under each of the above general models, additional models were created to include streak variables, which averaged performance measures only over the previous five games, as well as logarithmic variables. Game outcomes were operationalized and analyzed in two distinct manners - score differential and game winner.

  • Guideline for Recording Girls Lacrosse Statistics

    Guideline for Recording Girls Lacrosse Statistics

    LACROSSE STATISTICS With the rapid growth of the sport of lacrosse, it is important that the recording of the statistics of the game, which serve as a permanent record of the contest, be accurate and be meaningful to anyone who reads them. To this end, it is important to have a compilation of the terms used in statistics. The purpose of this work is to address this need of nomenclature for the statistics currently use. In addition, this work will help to establish some guidelines for consistency. Consistency is a fundamental part of the taking of statistics. Consistency is important not only from game-to-game for an individual team but also from team to team so that statistics can be compared across teams. There are a number of situations in which players are compared on a statistical basis; it is crucial to a fair comparison that the statisticians that are with the various teams be of the same mindset. In each of these explanations below, a number of examples are given as possible scenarios that a statistician might encounter. They are by no means exhaustive nor are they all- inclusive. They simply provide a means to demonstrate some situations and provide a guideline for the recording of the statistics. In each of the examples, members from team A all have names that begin with the letter “A” and players on the opposing team all have names that begin with the letter “B.” Following the description of each of the statistics, a list of formulas will be provided to reacquaint the statisticians with the method of determining such statistics as scoring offense, scoring defense, save percentage and goals against average.
