Mission Statement
South Basketball Philosophy
Mission Statement:
Building Servant Leaders for life in the Community, the Classroom, and on the Court through Truth, Love, and Commitment.
Vision:
To Be The Program by Which All Others Are Measured.
Program Goals:
Compete for City Title and Twin City Title
Compete for Section Title
Graduate players full of passion, character and integrity.
Goals for Players:
Dare to be great
Core Values: What kind of marriage will you have if you don’t trust each other? How about a friendship? Business partnership? Teammate? Trust is the glue that bonds us together and allows us to achieve more together than we could on our own. Players have to trust in their own abilities, their teammates, and their coaches. The second core value is “Love.” Love is the greatest force in the world. We are not talking romantic love here- we are talking love of the game, love of competition, love of pushing yourself, love of buying in to a cause greater than yourself, etc. The third core value is “Commitment.” Are you on the team, or are you committed to the team?
Specific Attitudes:
Servant Leadership does not come naturally. Young people do not naturally ask how they can help around the house! Sadly, in sports we often enforce the opposite. For example, the thought goes “I am a senior so now the freshman serve me.” Freshman carry the equipment, freshman do the grunt work, etc. Now I do believe in paying your dues and earning your way, but I also believe that seniors need to learn that to truly lead they need to serve the freshman- not haze, abuse, or intimidate them.
Key Areas: the 3 C’s: Community, Classroom, and Court. We make intentional efforts in these areas to build leadership.
