Camp
Coaches e-mail Information
Dear
Volunteer Coach:
Thanks
for volunteering. Without your help we would not be able to help
a mob of kids become much better basketball players. What we do
will determine their future love of basketball.
The
camp core hours are from 9 to 4, though we have the gym open and
supervised from 8:30 to 5. (The 4 to 5 time
period ‘babysitting’ in the hall with whatever campers remain, as
the custodians are forcing us to be out of the gym by our actual
booked time which is to 4:00 pm.)
I
have attached a copy of the coaches’ handout. (See below this e-mail
letter for this handout). Please
give it an overview read. It
will give you a good idea of some of what will be happening in the
camp.
Guest
coaches have been scheduled for all of the learning times in the camp.
The
coaching job is meant to be fun, and will be fairly simple once you
become familiar with the camp procedures.
Your coaching responsibilities are to primarily relate to the
kids. There is at least
one coach for every seven campers, so the work load should be
manageable.
DON’T
BRING MONEY OR VALUABLES. The
change rooms are not secure.
Finally
it goes without saying that swearing, hitting, horseplay, bullying and
name calling are strongly dealt with in this camp. Time outs to
correct this are used liberally if such behaviours are observed.
Also please remember at all times that you are a role model for the
kids and they will pick up on your behaviours quite readily.
I
really look forward to working with you. Thanks for offering to help.
Sincerely
PatS.
