Welcome Jr. Grizzlies Coaches
In an effort to create consistency throughout the organization and be consistent with our Code of Conduct, these videos and articles can be supportive to help the players understand the main ideas of our program. These are meant to be resources for you as a coach that can support and reinforce the concepts, ideas, characteristics and values that the Junior Grizzlies strive to embody and instill in the players. It is encouraged that you take the time to hold video sessions during mini camp or other times before or after practices at some point during the first month to show and discuss the messages from these videos.
Thank you for your cooperation and efforts to coach for the Jr Grizzlies and good luck to you and your teams this season.
STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE!

JR GRIZZLIES CODE OF CONDUCT
This Code of Conduct is a standard template that each head coach will be expected to complete and submit to the Jr Grizzlies Board for approval. The portions of the document that are written in red are the areas in which head coaches can edit and/or omit, depending on the age group you are coaching. More will be discussed at the Coaches Camp prior to mini camps.

Are you a "Get" or "Give" Player?
This is a great article for players that should get them thinking about how their attitudes and behavior are toward the team and how they respond to certain situations. This message and article can and should be shared with parents so they are also informed and hopefully carrying on this message throughout the year at home, in the car or on the road with their player.
In an effort to create consistency within our program with this type of mindset and culture, it is encouraged that you please find a time to discuss and share this with your players and parents.
