Intensity Hoops is built around real competition, real effort, and real accountability. This Code is what we ask of every athlete in our program, at every level.
1. Effort & Attitude
- Bring full effort to every practice and game — that's the standard, not the exception.
- Accept coaching. Feedback is how you improve; take it that way.
- Support your teammates, on the bench and on the floor. No cliques, no putting a teammate down.
2. Respect
- Respect officials' calls — no arguing, no gestures, no comments toward referees.
- Respect opponents. Compete hard, then shake hands and move on.
- Respect facilities and equipment — leave locker rooms and gyms the way you found them.
3. Team Rules
- Be on time for practices, games, and team travel. Communicate with your coach as early as possible if you can't make it.
- Follow curfews and check-in times set by coaching staff during travel, per our Club Team Travel Policy.
- Team information stays with the team — that includes what's said in the locker room and in team group chats.
4. Off the Court
You represent Intensity Hoops whenever you're wearing our gear or identified as one of our players — at tournaments, on social media, and in the community. Conduct that seriously reflects poorly on the team may be addressed under this Code even outside of practice or game time.
5. Zero Tolerance
Bullying, harassment, hazing, or discrimination of any kind toward a teammate, opponent, or anyone else connected to the program will not be tolerated, and is addressed immediately.
Consequences
Depending on what happened, a breach of this Code may mean a conversation with your coach, reduced playing time, being sent home from a trip at the family's expense, or removal from the team — Intensity Hoops decides based on the situation.
