Philosophy

For the club to be successful at all levels, we expect our players, coaches, officials, parents and supporters to conduct themselves in a courteous and polite manner at all times. We also strive to:

  • Provide basketball opportunities to everyone, regardless of gender, ability, race, religion and sexual orientation.
  • Create conditions for players, coaches and officials to reach their full potential and develop as people.
  • Use sport as a vehicle to instil good principles, values and disciplines in players, coaches and officials.
  • Ensure all players, coaches, officials and supporters maintain the highest standards of sportsmanship and fair play.
  • Further the ideals of teamwork, friendship and self-discipline.
  • Create a sporting environment that will benefit the individual, while always being aware that basketball is a team sport.
  • Recognise the special relationship between players, parents and the club.
  • Stress to coaches that leadership by example will always be superior to leadership by fear.
  • Teach all players and coaches that giving of your best is a victory, regardless of the score, but giving less than your best is a failure, even if a victory is attained.
  • Promote the concept of loyalty.
  • Emphasise the importance of education to players of all ages.
