Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the highest level of dynamic coaching to athletes as possible across all our programs, while fostering and growing their love of the game in a fun and motivating environment. We want to challenge and inspire our athletes to succeed not only on the court as players but, also mirror the same integrity, sportsmanship, and empathy our coaches try to instill into their daily lives.
We have continued to grow and expand at a controlled pace that benefits our players first and foremost. We don't make teams just to have a team - we scrutinize and ensure our coaches meet a high set of standands to ensure our players continually develop and have a positive experience. If we do not have a coach that can meet our standards and expectations then we will not form a team for that age class - we would rather not have a team than have a team with a bad coach.
Season Duration
Our club season officially begins with practices early January and finishing with Nationals in May. Our banquet and awards ceremony is held shortly after Nationals late May or early June.
