The Coaches
BG teams are coached by licensed coaches and trainers that are unbiased in the team selection, playing time, etc. Our coaches bring dozens of years of personal and team training experience to the gym. They are skilled and get the best out of each athlete while being respectful and fair. All coaches participate in mentor / discipleship training and are measured by a personal covenant of responsibility.
The Team
Each grade level team WILL be a competitive travel team. Anyone that has experience with travel basketball knows the wide range of talent and teams that exist at each event. Our goal is to have 2 teams per age division:
- Blue Gold Select – this team will compete in showcase events in the most competitive tournaments in the region and nationally
- Blue Gold Storm – this team will compete against and with members of the Select team while improving fundamental basketball skills. The Storm will play in local and regional tournaments appropriate for the competitiveness of the athlete
The Players and Parents
Alongside with the Blue Gold Mission, it is expected that each and every BG athlete conduct themselves in a way that is becoming of the Blue Gold Organization. Parents have that same expectation and are considered to be role models for their athlete and the other members of the team. Players and parents are required to sign a code of conduct at the beginning of each season and grades periodically monitored.
