SFGBA’s got some New Year’s Resolutions for you!

A note from the Spirit of Tony Jasinski (as approved by the SFGBA board):
Get your new year started right! Come back and play Sunday basketball, as
we are working to invigorate a new atmosphere on Sundays!

You can work off some of those extra holiday pounds, and have fun, too.

SUNDAY TIPS:

* WHITE/DARK JERSEY: Have BOTH a white and a dark tee-shirt or jersey for flexible team assignments…

* COMPETITIVE: Come a little later (6pm?) if you are seeking stronger competition…

* RECREATIONAL: Try to get their earlier (5pm) if you are not a more athletic player.

* COMMUNITY: No attitude Sundays…. If someone acts like a jerk, don’t escalate it. You’re there to have fun, not for a debate.

* COORDINATORS ARE VOLUNTEERS- THEY ARE NOT PAID: Respect the volunteer coordinators. They are doing their best to make playing time and teams as fair as possible. (Also, please remember these are VOLUNTEERS, so appreciate them!)

* FIVE BUCKS: Don’t forget to have your $5 ready. (We lose money on Sundays, but open court play is important to a lot of us.)

* BE FLEXIBLE – WE’RE NOT AGAINST YOU: You may be asked to play with less desirable teammates or sit out a game. Please understand that the teams are constructed on the fly, with the intention to provide as much balance as possible – we’re not out to get anyone. And sitting out a game is to be expected when there are higher numbers of players.

We are working to reduce the occurrences of nasty behavior that have sometimes happened. If someone does act inappropriately, they may be banned—especially for repeated behaviors. Please help the coordinators on Sunday control these issues.

See you on the basketball court!
