Values
ProU is a different kind of basketball club where our mission is to develop youth who posses our Core Values and then help them to develop both physically and mentally to become better basketball players.
Fundamentals and Teamwork
We teach the fundamentals of shooting, defense, ball handling, footwork, and rebounding while emphasizing teamwork. We also focus on the mental side of the game and develop each player’s Basketball IQ. We stress the importance of conditioning and nutrition as tools to promote healthy development and reduce injuries.
Clear Expectations and Communication
We set clear expectations for each player and for the team. We evaluate players to measure whether expectations are being met. Coaches will communicate with players and be honest with their assessment of each player’s ability and progress.
Passion
We are passionate during games and practices. We celebrate successes and utilize setbacks as opportunities to teach.
Mentorship
We mentor players who want to be part of a team and who are prepared to compete. All players in the program will be expected to possess and maintain a set of Core Values. We define “players” as athletes who:
- want to compete
- are coachable
- are perseverant
- have a strong work ethic
- are committed to improving their game
- possess good character
- are selfless and are excellent teammates
Commitment
The season is broken up into three semesters (fall, winter, spring). We ask that players and families be committed for all three semesters . We also ask that ProU be the priority when it comes to attendance. Please make ProU as important or more important than other sports in which your player is participating.
