Philosophy
The emphasis
of the program is to teach skills to young players and
enhance the skills of the more experienced players. It
is a "recreation basketball" program and therefore teams
will be limited to a maximum of three traveling players
each. The program should encourage player creativity in
the development of both individual and team skills. An
atmosphere of fun and good sportsmanship for all players
is our goal. Emphasis on winning only is not the
purpose of our program.
