General Program Guidelines
The primary objective of the boys’ basketball program, is to promote the success of the participation student-athletes. When each student-athlete experiences success, then the team as a whole will experience success. Because you are a member of the basketball program, your coaches will insist upon several things: Positive attitude, good conduct, adherence to the team rules. You must demonstrate that academic performance, basketball, and team success are important to you.
Like it or not, you must realize that people in the school and in the community will hear what you say and see what you do. This is especially true since you are a member of an athletic team. If you are a troublemaker and/or discipline problems because of what you say or do in the classroom, around school, or in the community, you are not the type of person that will be successful in our program. The image you present to others must be positive.
Your attitude will contribute as much to the team and individual success as your ability. You will be evaluated constantly by your coaches and others in the following areas:
Responsibility- your willingness to meet each and every obligation that goes with being a member of our team.
Self-discipline- forcing or driving yourself to do what is best for the team and yourself.
Pride- gaining satisfaction from knowing and demonstrating that you are equal to the challenge.
Courage-guts. Being brave enough to reach down for something extra when the situation demands it.
Loyalty- being faithful to the team. Placing the good of the team above individual desires when to might conflict. (Example: playing time)
You represent a fine school through membership on the basketball team. Be proud of both. Conduct yourself at all times in such a way that you will bring credit to yourself, your family, your school, your program, and your team.
Always believe in yourself, your teammates, and your coaching staff. Mistakes will be made by student athletes and coaches were faith in one another must be maintained. Trust the process and we will be successful on and off the court.
