Our main OBJECTIVE is
to have FUN! This program is designed to give all of our players the
fundamentals they need to play basketball at a competitive level.
The Interpersonal/life skills are a very important part of the
Hartford Knights basketball program. Youngsters in this program are
taught that life is beyond the basketball court. They must strive to
be winners on and off the court. Participants realize that the same
concepts and principles used to set goals on the basketball court such as
planning and executing a strategic play are the same skills needed to be
successful in college and the pursuits of their professional careers. The
Hartford Knights provide an atmosphere where young people feel safe,
motivated, respected and are encouraged to discover the potential that is
within them.
RESPECT plays an
important role in any sport. The Hartford Knights league will require
respect from Player to Player, from Player to Coach, from Coach to Coach,
from Parents to Coaches and every other aspect of this league. Being
un-cooperative, swearing or any type of disrespect in this league will not
be tolerated from anyone affiliated with The Hartford Knights.
MOTIVATION is another
priority. Our coaches are required to instill a desire in each player to
work hard and strive to become the best player that they can be physically
and mentally, on and off the court. With the help of our parents, and
coaches, we will prepare the players to be dedicated, committed and
self-disciplined.
An open line of COMMUNICATION
between Players, Parents and Coaches is essential to this program. We
welcome advice that is beneficial and productive to the program and the
game. There is a right and a wrong way to approach every situation. Please
keep in mind our children are watching us.
