Learn What We Value
CLUB'S PHILOSPHY
It is our coaching philosophy to help the athlete and team reach their maximum potential and become the best they can be. In order to achieve success we as a team must be;
Committed
Hard-working
Coachable
Team players
We feel these four characteristics are extremely important for team success. But even more importantly they are valuable life skills. Being strong in these areas will help the girls become better people.
COMMITMENT
Our athletes must be committed to the team attending all practices, games and team functions. Any absences need to be communicated to the coaches.
COACHABLE
It is important that athletes must work hard at each and every practice. They need to be willing to learn, try new things or positions and accept corrections. In order to improve and become better each and every day this is essential.
HARD-WORKING
The athletes must work hard at each and every practice. Players will be challenged physically as well as mentally. Athletes need to be prepared to be challenged by the coaches in practices and at games.
TEAM PLAYERS
Being a team player and a close knit team is critical to any success. Players need to support one another, cheer for one another and accept their roles.
