ProSkills 2025–2026 Player Guidelines

“Effort. Energy. Enthusiasm. Execution.”
Carry this mindset into every practice and game.

Be Elite at the Intangibles

Excel in areas that require no talent: effort, attitude, focus, and hustle. These qualities set you apart and contribute to team success.

Respect the Space

You are a guest in the facilities we use. Show respect by:

• Not touching school property
• Not using Bay Club or Vistamar athletic equipment
• Not putting your mouth on the water dispenser or hands in the ice
• Cleaning up after yourself and leaving the gym in better condition than when you arrived

Organize Your Belongings

• At Vistamar: Line up your bags against the back wall
• At Bay Club: Place bags behind the basket

Be Punctual and Prepared

Be ready to start practice on time. Late arrivals will run as a reminder of the importance of punctuality.

ProSkills Parent Commitment

At ProSkills, we believe basketball is more than a game. It’s an opportunity for athletes to learn discipline, resilience, and teamwork while building lifelong friendships. Parents play a vital role in creating the right environment. This commitment outlines how we can work together to support your child’s growth as both a player and a person.

1. Respect Coaches’ Role

Coaches view players within the context of the team, while parents naturally see their child individually. Both perspectives are valid, but decisions will be made with the team’s best interest in mind. Concerns should be addressed privately, never in front of players.

2. Be a Parent, Not a Coach

At home, your role is to love, support, and encourage—not critique. Your child’s performance on the court is not a reflection of your parenting. Avoid play-by-play breakdowns after games. Let them reflect and bring basketball up when they’re ready.

3. Align on Accountability

Consistency matters. If a coach holds your child accountable, back it up at home. A lack of accountability outside of practice undermines growth.

4. Let Failure Do Its Work

Failure is not something to protect your child from—it’s part of learning. Help them bounce back quickly, move past mistakes, and build resilience.

5. Value Process Over Results

Basketball is merit-based. Effort, attitude, and doing the little things right are often more important than talent or statistics. Encourage your child to focus on daily improvement instead of comparisons or rankings.

6. Avoid Overinvestment in Performance

Your mood and happiness should not depend on your child’s game results. If you find yourself overly affected, step back and refocus on their bigger journey.

7. Prioritize Practice Over Games

Too much competition leads to burnout. Real development happens in practice, not by playing every weekend. Balance is key.

8. Support the Team and All Players

Celebrate every player’s success. Avoid negative talk about teammates, coaches, or opponents. Foster a positive environment for the entire team.

9. Character Comes First

College coaches and evaluators consistently look at body language, effort, and teamwork over early rankings or accolades. Teach your child that hustle, energy, and attitude will carry them further than talent alone.

 

ProSkills Parent Guidelines

• 24-Hour Rule: Concerns must wait at least 24 hours after a game or practice.

• Off-Limit Topics: Playing time and the skills of other players are not open for discussion with coaches or other parents.

This Parent Commitment ensures that together we build not only better basketball players but stronger young people who are prepared for challenges on and off the court.
