OUR CLUB PRINCIPLES ARE KNOWN AS THE S.T.R.I.V.E PRINCIPLES

The Club must, within its resources, give players and coaches the best opportunity to develop their skills.

We play as teams. This means:

(a) practicing together
(b) making sure everyone gets court time
(c) if a team mate is in a better position – you pass
(d) accepting that every one will make mistakes
(e) regardless of the score, never, ever giving up

We win as a team and we lose as a team.

Respect the Officials
Respect the Opposition
Respect the Club
Respect your team mates
Always demonstrate good sportsmanship

The goal is to improve every player, every year, every season. Every player has the opportunity to be better.

Sport is about values as much as it is about activity and exercise. These values include teamwork, commitment, respect, the importance of practice and effort, friendship, learning how to react when you win, learning how to react when you lose, and always retaining a sense of perspective and fun.

This is the most important principle of them all. Players and coaches enjoy basketball because they are learning new skills, they are part of a team, they are showing and receiving respect, they are improving, and they are absorbing values that have relevance in their broader lives.
