There are many facets to coaching youth sports. The information provided will hopefully give you a good foundation, or the building blocks needed in you to become a good coach. Becoming a coach is a process, not something static. Good coaches keep an open mind and are constantly learning new things, and are not content to "stand pat" with what they know. This learning is multi-faceted... not just learning new offenses, defenses, plays, etc, but also learning how to better teach fundamentals, how to get along with others, how to deal with players, parents, fans, and how to build your program. Hopefully, information provided here will support your efforts. 

Game Scores can now be phoned in using the following info:

1. Dial the toll free number 1-866-334-6294.

2. When asked, say or enter the pin number of the event, and the code of the game. Your code for the LJAL Basketball 2009-2010 is 2834.

3. You will then be told the division, teams playing, and field location - if this is the correct game, confirm by saying yes.

4. When asked, say or enter the score for each team, then confirm.

5. You can do more games in the same call, or just say goodbye when done.

Remember, you cannot have two games with the same game number (within the same division or across divisions) to use the Phone It In system. 
 
Please note: The winning team head coach must call in the score, and score sheets must be given to the Gym monitor at the end of each game.
