- Repeatedly questioning an official's judgment calls
Any player, coach, or spectator who is ejected from a game/practice or facility will be banned for the remainder of the season.

Please Note
To support each child's development, coaches will place children in groups based on skill level rather than age. Most children will remain in their assigned group unless a change is needed, and we will work with families to accommodate scheduling whenever possible.
In the event of cancellations due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, practices or games will be rescheduled when possible, based on court/gym availability and scheduling. Refunds will not be issued for practices or games that are missed or canceled due to circumstances beyond our control, including sessions or games a child is unable to attend. All payments are final!

In the event of an emergency, I authorize BBL SPORTS NYC to contact emergency medical services on behalf of my child/children. If the parent is not present at the site of the injury or accident, every attempt will be made to contact the parents or guardians before the child is brought to the hospital.
