Players are NOT permitted to leave the gymnasium during the down time between their games. If the team loses in their first game and does not advance to the championship, the boys will be free to leave for the day immediately following the game. As has been the practice all season long, parents/guardians must come to me and sign the player out before they can leave the premises. If the team wins their morning game and advances to the championship in the afternoon, there will be a time gap between games. However, the team that is playing during that break could be a Rockville team. Please see all scenarios below:
a.) 5th Grade Wins
Their 11:00 Game - They will be expected to sit as a team and watch the 6th
grade game. Running around and goofing off will not be tolerated. Remember, we are representing the Rockville
Community School Corporation. Players on
my team will act like gentlemen at all
times. Appropriate consequences for misbehavior will follow.
b.) 5th Grade Loses Their 11:00 Game - Players are encouraged to
stay and support the 6th Grade team. Since
we are done for the day, however, players are free to go home once they have
been signed out.
c.) 6th Grade Wins Their 12:00 Game - Hopefully,
our 5th Grade team will be playing in the championship immediately following
this game. Whether the 5th Grade team
wins or loses, the 6th Graders will be expected to sit as a team and watch the
5th grade championship. Running around
and goofing off will not be tolerated. Once again, we are representing the Rockville
Community School Corporation, and players on my team will act like gentlemen at all times. Appropriate consequences for misbehavior will
follow.
d.) 6th Grade Loses Their 12:00 Game - If the 5th
Grade wins their morning game, 6th Grade players are encouraged to stay and
support the 5th Grade team. But since we
are done for the day, players are free to go home with parents once they have
been signed out.
The bus will return to Rockville
Elementary School as soon as both teams are done for the day.
ALL uniforms and shorts will be collected following the final game. Each player needs to come dressed in their khaki/black pants and dress shirt. If the team happens to win their first game in the morning, they will want to put these clothes back on following the game. Whenever we are finished playing for the day, whether it’s after the morning game or following the championship, the boys will also want to make sure they have something to put on after we collect the jerseys and shorts. No jerseys or shorts owned by the school will be taken home by a student for any reason.
