9.      ONLINE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

The Fortified Athlete Online Community is essential for your child's development. This is where you will find:

• Homework Assignments: Weekly homework is mandatory and should take only 15-20 minutes to complete. This will reinforce both basketball skills and mental development.

• Faith Development: The community includes resources for personal growth through faith-based courses, prayers, and faith journals.

• Progress Tracking: The online community offers tools for tracking progress, setting goals, and completing assignments.

• Incentives: Players can level up and earn rewards, such as free training sessions, gear, and special recognition, by engaging in the community, completing homework, and tracking their progress.

10.  PLAYER REPORT CARDS AND ACCOUNTABILITY

As part of our commitment to your athlete’s development, Basketball With Life LLC provides regular Player Report Cards. These report cards will evaluate the athlete’s progress across several areas, including:

• Results in Benchmarks: Speed, shooting accuracy, vertical jump, etc.

• Overall Development: Skill enhancement, basketball IQ, teamwork, and leadership.

• Homework Tracking: Whether they complete their assigned weekly homework.

• Effort, Attention, and Discipline: Monitoring their participation in practices and attitude toward training.

• Accountability and Responsibility: Demonstrating ownership of their growth and following through with tasks.

These report cards are designed to keep athletes accountable and ensure their steady progress. Regular evaluations help both athletes and parents stay informed on their performance, highlighting areas of strength and identifying areas for improvement.

11.  HOMEWORK ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM

At Fortified Athlete, homework assignments are mandatory and form a key part of our accountability system. These assignments are designed to be easily integrated into the athlete’s busy schedule. On average, homework will only take:

• 10-15 minutes per week for basic reflections or quick drills.

• 30-45 minutes per week for more involved workout-based homework.

The Importance of Homework:
Homework isn’t just about basketball skills. It’s about building discipline, accountability, and a sense of ownership in the athlete's development. Accountability is crucial to success both on and off the court, and we believe that our homework system helps reinforce this value.

Homework Submission Tracker:
To track each athlete’s engagement, we use a color-coded system:

• Green (75% or higher): Athlete has consistently submitted their homework and is doing well in terms of accountability.

• Yellow (50%-75%): Athlete has submitted a moderate amount of homework but needs to improve consistency.

• Orange (25%-50%): Athlete is underperforming in homework submission and is at risk of falling behind in accountability.

• Red (25% or below): Athlete is at a critically low level of homework submission. This is a warning level, and failure to improve may result in a discussion with the parent(s) about possible termination from the program.

12. PROGRAM TERMINATION POLICY

·         Athletes who fail to meet the expectations laid out in this agreement, including failing to complete a significant portion of their homework, may be subject to termination from the program. We take this seriously because we believe that accountability is essential for success.

·         We understand that athletes are busy with school and other activities, which is why our homework is designed to be manageable. However, failure to complete homework consistently, especially when flagged in the red zone of our tracking system, will trigger a meeting with the parents to discuss the next steps.
