Philosophy

“The only thing standing between you and your dreams is hardwork.”

A player with skill, athleticism, knowledge, and confidence can play successfully in any league, tournament, high school or college program. Our driving force is to develop players with fundamental skills, a high basketball IQ while competing within a team structure giving players the confidence to accomplish their dreams.

Coach O'Grady emphasizes development through carefully planned practices and competition that focuses on growth, not just results. Great teams and players are not built over a three month season or by hopping from team to team. They are built carefully over time, thoughtfully through commitment and design.

We have found well-coached teams and players exhibit these core characteristics:

1. Plays hard, hustles.

2. Works to open space, hard to guard.

3. Play unselfishly.

4. Communicates.

5. Passes first, ball handles less.

6. Attacks the basket with speed.

7. Shoots high percentage shots.

8. Protects the basketball.

9. Listens.

10. Defends relentlessly, not recklessly.

11. Exhibits mental toughness.

12. Competes with passion and joy.

When you see a team play with these traits, you know it immediately.

How does your player or team look?

Dare to be great - it starts with you, a team system, commitment, and toughness.
