Concussions: Be aware of the new state guidelines and familiarize yourself regarding the signs and symptoms of a concussion.

If a child seeks medical attention relating to a concussion and has been removed from athletic activities because of a suspected or confirmed concussion or head injury, that child MAY NOT participate again until he/she is evaluated by a health care provider and receives written clearance to participate in the activity from the health care provider.  There is a also a free course available on-line at the National Federation of High School Sports, and it's worth taking the time to review.

Roster Submission:  Print off and submit a roster form BEFORE your first tournament or the Club will be fined (include participant name, address, and jersey number).

Play Date Preference Form:  Each coach MUST prepare and submit this form prior to the estimated deadlines listed below.  Failure to submit this form by the required deadline may cause your team to not be placed in the league or eliminate your team from getting tournaments. These forms are emailed directly to each coach by either a Club officer or the GNBL.

Season of Play:  It is EXTREMELY important that EACH coach use the Club's season of play rules.  This helps eliminate the already overbooked and overcrowded gym use needs.  Each team will practice a MAXIMUM of twice per week prior to a team's first tournament.  If a coach schedules more than the recommended two practices per week and there are other teams trying to schedule a practice, that coach's practice may be cancelled.  PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING AS YOUR GUIDELINE:

Pre-Meet Emails:  The GNBL requires that all host teams send "pre-meet" emails.  To ensure that all teams will be at your meet, it is your responsibility to contact the coaches or contacts for all teams attending your meet one week in advance to verify their attendance and start time of each team's first game.  The GNBL or Club will email all the necessary information for you to contact the visiting teams.  If you do not receive this list by email the weekend before your home meet, please contact Terri Green at [email protected].  You must receive a confirmation email in return (not just a read-receipt); otherwise you should make contact via telephone.

Reporting Scores From Your Home Tournament:  Report scores for each game from your home tournament to the GNBL no later than 10 a.m. the Monday after your tournament.  Email scores to Tracie Tilton ([email protected]) --  not Terri Green.  If there is a problem at your meet or an issue you need to discuss, you should contact Terri Green.
