Q. What is the KYB Coaching Philosophy?
|
- Our basic philosophy will consist of teaching basic basketball skills as a foundation for a successful Kewaskum Varsity basketball program. This is a teaching-based program first and foremost, highlighted by age and skill appropriate competition.
This organization is based on teamwork, cooperation, fair play, family involvement, volunteer leadership, physical fitness and to provide opportunity. You will note that it does not mention scoring, individual statistics or the margin of victory. This organization does not emphasize these things and if these items are critical to you, then I suggest that you look elsewhere. This does not mean that winning is harmful or that the spirit of competition does not exist. These are all integral parts of any sporting event. We are merely stating that our emphasis is to be placed on teaching teamwork, determination, hard work and basic basketball skills. In other words, teaching first and winning second. We will set attainable, positive goals for each team. We do not judge the success of a coach or a team by their win/loss record. We judge their effectiveness by the number of players that want to continue on, by all of the skills they have learned and the amount of fun they have all had together as a team.
