ABA Parent Handbook - Excerpts
Our Mission
To Walk Beside the players, coaches, and parents as we teach on-court skills and attributes and the life skills that can be learned through the game of basketball.
Being a part of a competitive basketball team is extremely demanding and time consuming for players, coaches and parents. ABA Supreme will emphasize the importance of family, friends, faith, schoolwork, and improvement of players.
ABA Supreme believes family is the foundation and number one priority of our teams. We will strive for strong relationships between our players and their families, as well as their extended ABA Supreme family. It is critical that everyone involved players, coaches and parents are 110% dedicated to ABA Supreme and our purpose. Coaches will be more than willing to accommodate players and parents as much as possible and are willing to work out any situation at hand.
ABA Supreme players will be expected to demonstrate good character in all areas of life, athletics, academics, socially and personally. Good grades are expected by all ABA Supreme players and will be checked regularly throughout the season. If a player receives a poor grade, an assisted, creative measure will take place to improve the grade. One of our many goals at ABA Supreme is for our players to one day, receive athletic scholarships and possess a solid GPA throughout their careers.
ABA Supreme coaches will spend ample time making personal relationships with players and mentoring them. We will speak consistently about good life skills, decision-making and other peer influences.
Our final goal at ABA Supreme is to dramatically improve each player each season. Our focuses will increase player’s skill levels, confidence, competitive drive and desire to win. It is expected of each player to transfer that knowledge into his/her will to improve.
Our Philosophy
ABA Supreme will teach its players to be competitive, hardworking athletes! They will play with an immense passion and love for the game of basketball. Our players will be expected to hustle after each loose ball, play tough defense, play as a team, and compete every single time on the court. ABA Supreme basketball is not all about winning. We take great pride in teaching our players how to play the game the right way.
Our players will be expected to practice consistently. Our players will want to improve, work hard, and win basketball games. Coaches will create individual outlines specific for each player. These outlines focus on a player’s fundamental improvement and overall development.
ABA Supreme searches for hardworking players, who want to improve, play aggressively and compete against high-quality competition. We emphasize individual player improvement, team play, strength and conditioning, long-term friendships and sportsmanship.
