Players must bring complete uniform to all tournaments.
Players must bring issued practice jersey to all practices.
The use of tobacco, alcoholic products or illegal drugs or narcotics is prohibited at all times.
Violation of any of the above responsibilities could result in suspension or dismissal from the team at the sole discretion of the board.

The coaching staff of Utah Summitt is committed to carry out the following responsibilities:

Strive to assist team members in the improvement of their individual strengths.
Coach and stress the basic fundamentals of basketball.
Conduct structured practices and attend all tournaments.
Stress that winning is not the foremost object of the team, but by competent coaching and positive reinforcement of goals, these young people will learn how to win, how to lose, and how to do both well.
Be a leader and supporter of Utah Summitt’s Mission statement.

Give coaching staff full authority on basketball decisions including forming teams, playing time, roster changes.
Demonstrating respect to coaching staff, officials, spectators, opponents and especially our team.
As a team parent I recognize that I am a representative of the Utah Summitt Basketball Program. I will therefore maintain a positive attitude in myself and encourage that same positive attitude in my child in all team events and all related interactions at all times.
Understanding that failure to comply with club policies or failure to show proper respect to players, coaches or officials can result in disciplinary action or in extreme cases in the suspension or dismissal of my child from the team.
A non-refundable player fee provides the majority of the funding. This fee will cover expenses related to uniforms, coaching fees, tournaments and training fees.
