About Us

Growing up playing basketball and later coaching junior players, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance effective coaching with fair substitutions, especially in the heat of the game. It's no small feat to manage player rotations while keeping a clear focus on guiding young athletes.

Equal Court Time for All Players

I believe strongly that community leagues should prioritize equal playtime for all players, regardless of skill level. When a player shows enthusiasm and commitment by attending training sessions, they deserve the chance to develop their skills on the court. This approach not only improves individual growth but also strengthens the team dynamic and fosters a positive environment.

Basic Coaching Tips

I hope to keep adding basic basketball principles displayed in an easy to understand and intuitive manner to help other amatuer coaches out there trying to do their best for their junior players. For example, theBreak a Zone Defense pageand theBreak a Press page.
