Hi Coach!

I hope you are having a great 2nd half of your summer and you got some downtime with your loved ones.

We appreciate you taking part in our June Academic Showcase events in Gainesville!

We wanted to collect some feedback about the shot clock usage leading up to the Coaching Clinic next month. Please take 2 minutes to send us your feedback on this survey: https://forms.gle/FP7ccNvSRXaxJhPc9

Also, if you have not pre-registered for the Coaching Clinic on Saturday, August 24th at Carrollwood Day School in Tampa, please do that here: https://forms.gle/BscoTBnt7DusB6sU6

We are excited to partner with Coaching U again to bring you another outstanding Clinic with the best coaches in the business. We will send out more details about the event and speakers next week!

Thanks!

Coaches,

We are excited to host you this weekend in Gainesville for what will be another great event! Here are a few quick reminders about the event...

2) Click here to read the event rules—info on Coach attire, Game Uniforms, etc.

3) Are all your Bench Coaches active FABC Members? Save time at check-in and take care of Memberships now. Read the Message titled "Act Now: FABC Memberships"

Rosters are due - log into your Coach Account now. With the amount of work our staff has this weekend, we need to get all Rosters for Week 2 in by Sunday evening. We will not have the bandwidth to chase everyone down like we have been the first 2 weeks. Take 2 minutes and get this done.

Week 2 Schedule is Live:

Coaches,

I've looked at the current roster book, and we have some cleanup to do. Some teams have 19 players, and some have 0.

I have sent Roster Update Links to the primary coach contact listed for the event. Check your emails and click the link.

Here are the important fields to have filled in for your players:

Name, Number, Class, Team Name, Height, Weight, Position, GPA, Phone, Email, Twitter

If you've filled in all fields and ensured that your rosters are ready for college coaches, then you can disregard the email.

Thank you for attacking this early so we can check this off on our side.

Thanks,
Chuck

Coach,

Accurate Rosters (athlete and coaching staff) in Exposure Events are mandatory for the FABC Showcases.

Here’s why:

(1) Our events are NCAA Certified Events, so all athletes and coaches who participate are submitted to the NCAA Basketball Certification System.�

(2) All Rosters (athletes and coaching staff) are printed and provided to the attending College Coaches to recruit your players. �

(3) Incomplete information for your players, e.g. Names, Numbers, Contact info, Graduation Year, Grades, Measurables, etc. will hurt your player’s chances for being properly evaluated by a College Coach.


** Missing athlete and coach information in your roster will result in not being invited to future FABC Team Showcase events. **


Boys Week 2 Rosters are due in Exposure Events by the evening of Friday, June 21st. Coaching Packets will go to the printer the following morning.


Updating rosters is easy. Doing this on a computer, not a mobile phone, is best.

Please follow these instructions carefully.

(1) The coach who registered for the event should log into their Exposure Events Coach Account here: https://basketball.exposureevents.com/coaches

(2) You will be on your Upcoming Events Dashboard and see a list of teams and the events they are registered for.

(3) On the right, you’ll find columns for “Roster” and “Coaches”.

(4) If you have a team roster already entered, you’ll find the number of players on the roster as the link to edit the roster, please click it. If you have no players on your roster, you will see a + symbol button, please click it.

(5) If you want to provide your roster for *only 1 event*, you can click the blue "Bulk Edit" button and add players and coaches.

(6) If you want to retain your roster and use it for *multiple events*, you can click the blue “Primary Roster” button and add players.

(7) Important fields to include for players:

- Jersey #
- Name
- Position
- Height
- Weight
- DOB
- Email
- Phone
- City
- State
- Social Handles
- School
- Grade
- Class (year they graduate, e.g. 2025)

Thank you for your prompt attention to this very important administrative duty for your players.

Chuck
