Sunrise Sports Leagues

Welcome to another season of the BOYS’ JR. VIKING BASKETBALL program. This program first began in 1990.  The Sunrise Optimist Club of North Topeka and the Seaman School District takes great pleasure in providing this program.

The Sunrise Optimist Club of North Topeka and the Seaman School District extends an invitation to all of our friends and fans to join us in conveying an attitude of positive sportsmanship to officials, teams and fans.  We know coaches, players and officials will be making honest mistakes.  For fans to belabor mistakes is futile and potentially harmful.  We ask from our coaches, players and fans to desist from any negative action that tends to influence the outcome of a contest.  Support should be directed to building up our own teams, not to intimidate or ridicule our opponents or officials.  Sportsmanship is good citizenship.  It is contagious - catch it!!

All games are played at East Indianola.  The gym will be opened no earlier than 30 minutes before game time.  A team must have at least four players to begin the game.  The game time is the forfeit time if a team is not ready to play.  The team listed first will be the visitors and sit on the east side (or left of the scorer's table).  Basketballs for warm-ups are provided; please do not bring basketballs from home to the games.

The players will not be permitted to play with watches, earrings, or rings.  Parents please see that your child adheres to this playing rule before beginning the pre-game warm-ups.

Parents, please support the coach by letting him coach the team.  The coach will ask the players to play a certain way.  Please help the coach and the players, by NOT instructing the players during the game.  Your comments will confuse the players and could cause chaos during the game.
