Coaching Philosophy and Strategies 

 

It will be the responsibility of the coaches to develop the team members' individual character, physical skill and knowledge of the game of basketball.  At its best, basketball is a team game.  Success is built on disciplined practice which in turn leads to success in games and renews commitment to practicing.  Our coaches will be responsible for assessing penalties for improper behavior or violations of organizational guidelines.  Conflicting coaching ideas, concepts, or techniques will not be taught.  All coaches will share common beliefs on teaching of fundamental concepts, therefore providing a continuous and proper learning environment.  Our method of instruction shall include; TELL, SHOW, DRILL.
