Philosophy

The RAAA basketball program is currently for grades 3 through 8 and focuses on continuous development of basic basketball fundamentals and skill sets as well as team improvements for boys and girls.  The program is designed to challenge the players through increased competition in weekend tournaments as the player’s skill sets improve from year to year.

Overall Program Goals

1. Teach and develop individual basketball skills.
2. Develop team concepts and ideals.
3. Teach players, coaches, and parents to be respectful to each other, opponents, and the game of basketball.
4. Emphasize characteristics like hard work, dedication, and perseverance that transfer to areas outside of basketball.
5. Help players reach their full potential as basketball players.
6. Create an environment where each team member feels they serve an important and meaningful role on his/her team.
7. Learn to win or lose with class and good sportsmanship.
8. Be competitive at every level.
