Arrive an hour before the first game of the day. When not in uniform, wear Mount Marty Warm-up or basketball t-shirt. If shooting around on the court, wear your game shirt and shooting warm-up. No hats or boots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;color: #000080\"><strong><u>Road Games:<\/u><\/strong> Players, wear game dress during school unless otherwise noted by coaches. On the road, wear athletic clothes and Mount Marty clothing. No baseball hats and no boots. Have all work made up and be on the bus at load time. Double check to make sure you have everything for the game (jersey, warm-up, shoes, etc.) Bus ride should be quiet. Prepare yourself mentally for the game. Read over the scouting report and watch game film. Always pick up the trash around you whether it\u2019s yours or not. Tell the bus driver or other people we come in contact with (cashier, delivery guy, managers, concession stand worker, etc.) \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #000080;color: #ffff00\"><strong><u>Prior to Game: <\/u><\/strong>Sit together during the JV or girls\u2019 game. Pay attention and cheer on your teammates. Never react to the game officials or the opposing players, coaches, or fans. During the national anthem stand at attention with your hand over your heart. Run out to take the floor before the game, after half time, and timeouts. Get a great, game-speed warm-up \u2013 Be intense and talk.

All players should pick up the bench area and make sure the cups, warm-ups, and towels are picked up. Players do not start getting undressed until coaches have spoken to you. Following post-game meeting, players should shower and get clothes on before leaving the locker room. The locker room should be clean \u2013 no tape, clothes, or trash lying around.
