The
Demerit System
1. A player who receives 10 demerits will be suspended for at
least one game.
2. Demerit points are assessed according to the following
criteria.
-
1 point for: lack of motivation,
bad attitude, talking when coach is talking, late for
practice,
and taking a water break without coach’s permission.
-
2 points for: an unexcused absence
from a game, practice, or any scheduled event.
3. All 1 point infractions can be paid off by the player after
practice. To pay-off points the
player will perform extra conditioning drills at a rate of 1/2 point per
practice.
4. All 2 point infractions can be paid off with a $5.00
check made payable to Boo Williams Summer League.
The money received from absentee fines will go to defer the cost of the
team’s traveling expenses.
5. To make life easier for everyone, keep demerits to a minimum.
