Conduct Code: Adherence to the Alberta Basketball Sexual Harassment Policy is mandatory for all coaches and staff at the time of your volunteer commitment.
Score/Time Keeping Instructions
At SLAM, we are fueled by the unwavering commitment of our parent volunteers, who are essential in delivering a premier basketball experience for our kids. We require all parent volunteers to fulfill the responsibilities of either scorekeeping or timekeeping at games, and these roles will be allocated by your team's coach.
It's important to note that both the scorekeeper and timekeeper play integral roles as minor officials during the game. Collaboration and mutual assistance in these tasks are key.
