TeamSnap Invite
We will be sending everyone a TeamSnap invite 1-week prior to the academy's start date. Please accept the invitation and download the TeamSnap App on your phone if you haven’t done so already. We are going to be using TeamSnap this session to:
- Communicate with the parents: You will be receiving automated e-mail reminders from TeamSnap as well as e-mails from the camp director - Billy Goldstein. We also recommend parents use the TeamSnap chat tool to communicate with coaches and other parents.
- Schedule Calendar: You can see all the upcoming practices on the team schedule tab. If I make any changes to the schedule (i.e. practice gets moved to a different field or cancelled), you will be notified.
- Availability: The availability tool is the best way to let the coaches know if your child will be attending or not. Just click the Schedule Tab, click on the date of the practice, and select Going, Maybe or No.
If you already have TeamSnap, and this is not the email you used to register through TeamSnap, please send me the correct email. This way you don’t need to create a whole new profile.
If you don't receive the TeamSnap invite 1-week prior to the start date, please check your SPAM folder. Still don't see anything, e-mail your Camp Director (see contact information below)
Check-in Procedures:
We ask that parents come into the gym to check their child in on the first day of the clinic so we can make sure we have all the information we need to ensure a safe and positive experience for your child. After the first day, kids are welcome to check themselves in with their coach.
Check-out Procedures:
You can choose your check-our preference as part of the registration process:
- Child Check-Out: Your child is welcome to check themselves our after the clinic to meet a parent in the parking lot, walk home or to another program, get a ride with a friend/family member, etc.
- Parent Check-Out: Your child will stay in the gym with the coach after the clinic until a parent physically comes into the gym to check their child out with the coach.
You can change your check-out preference at anytime by e-mailing club president, Billy Goldstein - [email protected]

In order to play for The Divide Grizzlies, everyone must agree to our MEAL Plan Club Culture. A healthy Meal Plan can give an individual the nourishment it needs to grow and development. Our MEAL Plan Culture does the same for our Club. You are going to make mistakes and that is okay because you are always going to give maximum effort, take accountability for your actions on and off the court, and learn from your mistakes. That is how you will grow as a player. That is how we will grow as a club.
Club Life Skills:
The Life Skills that we teach at our club are listed below. We don't expect our players to be perfect at all the life skills listed below all the time. This is a learning process and we will use the game of basketball to help teach life lessons that will help them in life. We just ask that all players have a positive attitude as we challenge them physically and mentally to develop the life skills listed below. It is about the journey.
- Respect, Sportsmanship, Leadership, Confidence, Effort, Responsibility, Teamwork, and Integrity
