Playing Time
Players who faithfully attend practices, work hard, and listen will be eligible to play in games. Students failing to show cooperation and Christian conduct may jeopardize the amount of playing time they would otherwise expect.
C-team (basketball) is intended to introduce the athletes to the basic skills and rules of the sport. Every player will get playing time, but playing time may not be equal.
During tournaments, the coach’s goal is to advance in the tournament. Every player will get playing time, but playing time may not be equal at tournaments.
Since the B-team is at a more developmental stage, it is deemed most appropriate to provide players a certain amount of playing time for each competition. Students involved at B-level sports are guaranteed an amount of playing time in each athletic event. Exceptions to this include: medical reasons, number of participants, conference rules, discipline, and attitude. Tournaments are considered special at this level and treated differently than regular season games. They are competitive in nature and, as such, playing time in tournament games is determined by the coach(es) and generally based on the athlete’s ability, attitude, and game situations.
At the A-team level, students will be played in a situation where they can succeed. They will generally play according to their level of ability and as game situations dictate. Although playing time is not guaranteed, it is our sincere desire to provide as much playing time as possible for each player. Please understand, however, that practices are an integral part of the athletic processes where coaches determine the abilities and capabilities of their athletes as well as building team cohesiveness. Missing practices for any reason may jeopardize the amount of playing time they might expect.
In summary, C-team is considered an initial learning stage, B-team is considered primarily developmental, while A-teams are considered competitive in nature. This philosophy is consistent with other Lutheran grade schools in the Milwaukee metro area and which are members of the Lutheran Athletic Association.
