1 Coach Training Guide Substitutions 2017 Season 1

2 COACHES RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PRACTICE DAYS Make out a practice schedule of what you would like to accomplish prior to your arrival at the Sports Center. Review the Team Talk for the day so you are prepared to discuss it with your team. Arrive ten (10) minutes early to practice. Come prepared with Coaches Manual, practice agenda, and a smile to greet your team. Please stick to your scheduled practice time only! If you share the gym with another team, it is your responsibility as coaches to work out a predetermined time to give your Team Talk each week. Make sure to cover fundamental skills each week; repetition is crucial in the learning process. A mini-scrimmage may be included within your team, the other team that is practicing (if age appropriate), or try a parent game! Always start practice on time, even if some players arrive late. Do not let players on the court prior to scheduled practice time if there are teams already practicing. Keep the kitchen open at all times during practice for access to first aid kit. Do not allow balls to go outside; this is crucial to avoid lost or damaged equipment. Make sure to schedule ten (10) minutes for your Team Talk and prayer. Always remind players the time of the next game and to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the game time. Do not leave practice until all team members have been picked up. The last team practicing for the evening is responsible for putting all balls in the ball bag, lock all doors and, turn off all lights. AWARENESS OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONSIDERATION OF OTHER TEAMS WILL HELP PRACTICIES RUN SMOOTHLY THROUGHOUT THE SEASON. 2

3 COACHES RESPONSIBILITIES FOR GAME DAYS Have a line-up ready prior to arrival at the Sports Center. Be prepared for changes because it is common for players to not show up or to be late. Line-ups must always be flexible. Preparing a line-up in advance will make substitutions during game time much smoother. Arrive at least twenty (20) minutes prior to the scheduled time of game. Come prepared with line-up, coaches manual, clipboard, pencil, etc. Gather team fifteen (15) minutes prior to scheduled start of game. Use this time to go over lineup, give pep-talks, stretch and warm-up. GYM WARM-UP TIME IS LIMITED! Once the previous game is over, you may bring your team on the court and prepare to warmup. Please wait to begin warm-up drills until the closing prayer is completed from the previous game! When the buzzer goes off to begin the game, immediately come to the center court for opening prayer. Substitutions should be done quickly at the end of each period (30 Seconds). The referees will start the game with or without all players on the court! Train players to turn backs to scorekeepers so jersey numbers can be recorded. Keep the next rotation of players informed of where they will be playing in the next period. No water bottles at players bench! Water spills cause slippery footing, which leads to injuries! Have parents keep the water bottles in the stands where players can get them at half time and/or after the game. At the end of the game, line your team up for handshakes and closing prayer. IF YOUR TEAM IS PLAYING THE LAST GAME OF THE DAY (8pm game), HELP PICK UP TRASH FROM THE BLEACHERS, AND STACK ALL CHAIRS. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK! THANK YOU! 3

4 LEADING A CHILD TO CHRIST It is important that we, as Coaches, Teachers and leaders, believe that children can be born again. Some people will have strong opinions that run contrary, but these opinions are not biblically based. The majority of adults who are saved today can identify with a childhood experience that began their walk with Jesus. Salvation must come before any meaningful Bible learning or life application can take place. Psalm 78:1-8 makes it clear that it is possible to teach Biblical truths to kids. Therefore let s believe for their salvation and give them early opportunities to receive Christ. Children can receive Him as soon as they begin to learn the difference between right and wrong. Children most often will make several decisions and responses to the gospel message- it is normal! Some kids may follow what their friends are doing rather than making a personal decision. When that happens, take time to explain to them again what it is you are asking them to do. Be sincere and loving, just as Christ would. Remember that we are all sinners and we must present salvation in a loving, accepting manner. Trust God to work in the child s hearts. Make salvation a possible task after all, it is a free gift. At the same time, it shouldn t be a mumbled prayer. Consider these steps: 1. Explain that God loves everyone and wants each person to become a member of His family. (John 3:16) 2. Sin prevents us from being a part of God s family. The Bible says sin is doing wrong and when we sin we are not being obedient to God. Romans 3:23 says that everyone has sinned. A child needs to understand that everyone includes him/her. 3. Romans 6:23 says the payment for sin is death. God loves us so much that He does not want us to die. He sent his son Jesus to die for our sins. (2 Cor. 5:21, I Peter 2:24). 4. If we want to become a part of God s family, we must ask God to forgive us for the things that we have done wrong. According to John 3:36, we need to encourage the child to believe that God has forgiven him. 5.Be sure the child knows that even after we have been saved, we still make mistakes. In I John 1:9 it states that if we tell God what we have done, He will forgive us and we will still be a part of God s family. All of this must be done using vocabulary that is simple, straightforward and free from confusing symbols and analogies. It is important to follow-up and help children build a strong foundation. The biblical command of Matthew 28:19-20 goes beyond just telling them about Jesus ; we are also to make them disciples! 4

Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible 5. Make friendship a fine art 6. Build a shelter against a rainy day 7.

21 Substitution Guidelines It is the goal of Whittier Area Sports to provide equal playing time for all youth participation in our leagues. Each game consists of eight (8) periods. Listed below is the required amount of playing time each player must receive during a game. The amount of playing time directly depends on the amount of players a team has for that particular game. Exceptions: 1. Player Injury - If a player is injured during a period and must come out of a game, a replacement player of equal caliber may be put in for the remainder of the period. The period counts against the original player, not the replacement player. 2. Late Arriving Player - If a player arrives at a game after it has begun, the coach is only responsible for playing that player for a ¼ of the game, not 1/2 of the game which is our normal rotation. There is no catching up required. If a player shows up for the 7th and 8th periods/quarters you are not required to play them. Do your best, but don t penalize the players that were on time. Documentation: The scorekeeper officially documents playing time. If there are any discrepancies in the amount of periods a person has played. The final decision lies with the scorekeeper. There are not exceptions to this rule.
