Program Philosophy

The West Ranch Basketball team is intended to be a positive experience for each and every player who participates. Our philosophy is based on providing a high quality, competitive, hard working, and character driven program. At all levels of play the goal is to develop a Varsity team that is both competitive and exemplifies the qualities that are presented in our mission statement. Team will always come first over the individual and each player will be responsible to exhibit this quality in practice, at home and in games.
It is a difficult and time-consuming responsibility being a Boys’ Basketball parent. We all want what is best for our student athletes.? The only thing that we, as a staff can promise you is that we want your son to succeed. We will work as hard as we can to help him succeed. Playing time and his role on the team is based on effort, skill, team play, practice habits, attitude, and performance. Playing time is not a guarantee to any player. Some players will not get as much playing time as others and in some games a team member may not play at all. We as a coaching staff believe that there are many rewards that come from being part of a team.? They include the improvement that comes from every day effort, the friendships made and the lessons learned.? These benefits far out weigh the game time played. Success is earned through commitment and team play. Every boy will have a role on the team that will be specifically spelled out to her. No role is less important than another. The success of our team as a whole, and the success of your son as an individual, will be based on how well each player performs their specific role.
