Program Philosophy

This Basketball Program is designed to develop “athletes first, winning second.” Coaches are committed to helping you learn sports skills, fitness habits, cooperation, self-control, self-worth and sportsmanship. We work at:

• Providing you with positive reinforcement and the recognition and acceptance of your teammates, to develop the confidence needed for success.

• Improving your physical fitness, your mental attitudes and spiritual growth as instrumental to your cooperative effort and self-control.

• Demonstrating fitness habits through warm ups, conditioning exercises, diet, rest, and involvement in other sports and activities.

• Encouraging the setting of individual goals and striving to achieve them as the best way for you to improve your skills.

• Developing respect for yourself, teammates, the other team, the rules and officials, through sportsmanship.

• Keeping winning in perspective with the emotions of sports and having fun.

• Motivating you to achieve the above

This Blog is a communication tool between athletes and coaches. It is developed as a tool to help with the above and assist you in obtaining the habits necessary to have success as a participant in the Basketball program.
