Playoff Brackets
Parents & Spectators
- We have coaches to coach the game
- We have referees to referee the game
- We have players to play the game
- And we have spectators to spectate the game
- So sit back and cheer and remember the primary purpose we are here for: To keep fun in the game and make lasting memories as our players hopefully learn lessons on how to deal with the pressure, adversity, victory and defeat that come with the highs and lows in the game of basketball. Sometimes we do it well as adults and kids and sometimes we don’t but it is how we respond, resolve, learn and adjust our future behavior that teaches and can improve our entire community.
Competitors
1.) Respect your opponent: You don’t have to like them, but you must treat them with respect.
2.) Respect your coach: Even if they don’t play you where and when you’d like.
3.) Respect your teammates: Regardless of their skill level, you can’t play the game without them.
4.) Respect the Refs: Remember they are human, and they are doing their best to make youth sports fair and fun.
5.) Be a team player: The game is not about how good you look or how much you score. A true team player knows how to put the team first and make sacrifices for their teammates.
All-Star Game
All spots are almost full. We see a few legit All-Star skilled players who have not gotten a spot. Coaches make sure to contact your best players and tell them to get their spot asap because once they are full they will not be able to play.
IMPORTANT
- Players need to go to the bluechipelite.com website on Sunday morning to see the team and coach they are assigned to. Go to the site click menu button then JrNBA then All-Star ( https://bluechipelite.com/2020allstars/ )
- Check into the game by finding your coach at least 30 minutes before the game so they can discuss with the team any points they need to emphasize.
- Middle, and High School Coaches will have the player lists by game and have said they will either be at the game in person or will watch the stream as they are very interested in looking at upcoming players and continuing to work with us to develop a high level basketball program so we can feed our players into their programs.
- So players need to look extra sharp. Please do not wear poorly matching undergarments. If wearing undergarments they should preferrably be white or black compression style.
