Weather Policy: In the event of inclement weather, the NNH League Officials will decide if games are to be played. The NNH will notify you of any cancellations or delays via email, Facebook, and our website.  The league reserves the right to can cancel all or part of the day. Because of the large amount of games on a given day that may be cancelled, games will be rescheduled only if facilities are available. 

The league reserves the right not to reschedule the games if facilities are not available.  There is limited gym availability each week and the season will not extend past 2/24/24. 

The NNH has to make the difficult decision to cancel games based on the safety of our players, parents, coaches, officials and scorekeepers.  In some instances our partner schools will make the decision for us whether or not the facility is able to be used.

In the event that a week or weeks of the season are canceled due to inclement weather, the NNH will have no choice but to honor fewer coaches requests in an effort to reschedule games. It is imperative that you have your Assistant Coaches ready to coach a game if a schedule request is not met.

Weather Policy:  The NNH will reschedule up to (1) week of canceled games.  After there have been more than one week of canceled games the NNH will not guarantee a game being rescheduled.  The NNH will do everything in its power to reschedule games but gym time can prohibit the rescheduling of games.

Covid-19 Policy:

• NNH will abide by TSSAA guidelines.
• NNH will abide by local mandates in cities in which the games are played.
• NNH will abide by the school boards, schools, or churches policy while using the facility.

Key Notes:

• No Current Masks Mandates
• No Current Temperature Checks
  

I agree to conduct myself, my team, and my fans in an appropriate manner and to respect all players, fans, officials, coaches, etc. 
 
I understand that game officials are in charge of the game being played and while that game is going on they are in complete control.  I agree that I will not argue with officials, league scorekeepers, league officials or anyone else associated with the NNH.  If you have a problem during your game with an official feel free to (EMAIL) the Director of Basketball Operations and we will be glad to address the problem.

I understand that if I am ejected from a game by an official it may result in any of the following actions by league officials.

1.  The completion of an online Sportsmanship class before the coach will be allowed to coach in the next game.
2.  A (1) game suspension from the league.
3.  Suspension from the league from the remainder of the season. 

I understand that under no circumstance am I to confront an official after a game.

I agree to have (2) uniform colors for my team and that all players are to have official basketball numbers.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT & CONDUCT
North Nashville Hoops takes great pride in operating a competitive but sportsmanlike league. The league would obviously not exist without the involvement and support of parents. Each parent is making a tremendous sacrifice in terms of time, finances and energy in the lives of their child. It is completely understood that parents are not just spectators, but are one of the key ingredients to a successful team. It is our desire that the parents of each team will co-exist in a harmonies and encouraging manner. It is imperative that players, parents and coaches work well together given the duration of each season. Unfortunately a team can’t effectively exist with 15-20 coaches. Thus, decisions regarding playing time, positions played, team formation, team organization and addressing the players will be the sole responsibilities of the team’s coaches. Sideline coaching, negativity, yelling, screaming and instructing will only distract and confuse the players. So it will be required that the parents focus on encouraging the team as a whole and let the coaches do the coaching. 
In no circumstance are parents to approach an official, coach, scorekeeper or anyone else during or after a game. If a problem does arise, the concerned parent needs to address the coach and not a player or parents on the sidelines. The head coach will be the spokesman for their team to the league officials.

Other expectations of the parents include:

- Representing the league and the team in a positive manner at all practices and games. Officials are in full control of the gym, not the gym supervisor.
- Avoiding bad language, fighting or yelling at or arguing with officials and other parents. Harassing the Official’s will not be tolerated. 
- Violation of these Policies & Procedures could result in some form of disciplinary action against the parent and/or player.

The NNH uses AGBOA to assign all non-TSSAA games.  The same organization assigns all TMSAA and TSSAA games in our area.  The same officials will be officiating these players when they enter middle school and high school.

There is a zero tolerance policy when it comes to approaching an official in a negative manner.

Please report any issues to j[email protected] or [email protected].  

If it is a non-emergency please wait 24 hours after any incident before emailing the issue.
