Coaching Philosophy
My philosophy is to
Develop players passion
Provide sufficient tools and equipments
Provide positive and safe environment
Insist on technical, tactical, physical and psychological skills
Shun micromanage games
Do not sacrifice health, safety, and long-term development for winning games.
All players and their parents and community matter
My coaching philosophy is to develop all rounded players in safe and well equipped environments. This is why I insist on the four fundamental training skills that are objective. These are technical, tactical, physical fitness and psychological skills. I let the players grow and develop into sensible community embers and thus do not micro-manage games but adhere to collective responsibility of transforming each other towards set game objectives. Player development is important far above short term winning goals. the community and parents of the players are critical in the development and growth of the player (Jenkins, 2010).

Coaches Responsibilities
Recruits players based on interest and talent
Coach is in charge of the players discipline
Schedules training and gaming times
Informs players of trends in sports and policies
Create responsible members of the society
Plans traveling schedules and provisions
Networks players for potential development
As a coach, the responsibility of developing all rounded players begin with individual interest, capability and talent. Coach shapes the discipline of players, schedules and performs their training, informed players about current trends in the sport, and develop individuals that are responsible community members. It is also important for a good coach to network players and allow exploitation of better pastures out there (Seitz et al., 2014).

Team Rules
First rule is general discipline
Members have to be orderly and organized
Time management/consciousness
Emphasize on effective communication
Respect, empathy, resilience, teamwork
Receptive to constructive criticism
Positive self image and motivation
Every team is guided by certain set standards, rules and regulations that direct their conducts, dressing and communication channels. The team is sound and has well structured rules and regulations. However, the rules guide individual conducts with the rest, public presentation and personalities. We emphasize on the orderliness and organization, respect, resilience, time consciousness, and teamwork. Being a positive member of a team is important in developing psychological skills of dealing with pressure in life (Jenkins, 2010).

Player Conduct
Players conducts defines the character
Emphasize on character and skill building
Players should value teamwork
Avoid conducts that are culturally insensitive
The image of the player reflects the team
Respect community values and leadership
Always presentable and hospitable
Any team is defined by the discipline and conducts of every player. Players must be respectful, and of good character. We encourage and develop character just as we do develop individual skills. Many strategies are used to attain this. Adherence to community norms and values is important. A team has to reflect the image of the community (Jenkins, 2010).
5
Community Involvement
A community plays a big role in defining team
Community is a catchment of players
It supports players with accessories/equipments
It provides moral support and sense of belonging
It provides safe playing ground
It defines the teams norms and values
It is the source of managerial skills and support
A community plays a critical role in the establishment and performance of any team. For instance, a community produces managers and sponsors of the team. The players that join the team come from that community. During games, community members cheer the team giving them moral support and safety. Again, the team image is defined by the community moral standards and values (Druckman et al., 2015).
6
Drugs Use
Use of stimulant drugs is uncompromised
Drugs have many side effects
Long term player development overrides wining
Habitual testing and drug documentation
Adhere to international drug policies
Drug users are rehabilitated on voluntary basis
Unruly drug addict players are dismissed
Many teams collapse because of drug abuse. Good players lose sense of morality when they begin using substances. Using drugs jeopardizes the long term developmental goals for players. Use of drugs encourage short term wining goals. drugs are prohibited internationally. Again they have many side effects that may negatively affect the players performance (Druckman et al., 2015).
7
Team Formation
Team formation procedure is formidable
Emphasis is on character, talent and capacity
Willing to learn and availability is considered
Every team member is resourceful
Making a team entails the very specific processes of team formation. However, individuals must agree to form mutual goals that will direct their interactions. Our process is formidable and emphasizes on character, talent and ability. Individual character may cause high degree of learning new skills and abilities. Individual player has to be available and willing to learn to attain these goals. every member is resourceful and thus respected in that capacity (Sherlin et al., 2011).
8
Determining Playing Time
Playing time is crucial for skill and fitness growth
Playing time is fixed externally
Training time is determined collectively
Communication is made verbal and tabulated
Flexibility allows for other social responsibility
Family and personal development time is reserved
Team development stage also impacts time
Playing time is important in learning different skills and knowledge. However, a good playing time is determined collectively with players and coach involved. Tournaments plying time is determined by the sponsors or managers of the game. Our playing time is flexible and inclusive. It is designed collectively depending on the individuals personal goals and roles in the team.

Travel Guidelines
Team traveling schedule is key in performance
Planning takes place on a separate day
Team members take part in making it
A convenient and cost-effective schedule
Members should be on time and fully equipped
Always 24 hours before playing
International travel guidelines are observed
Every team travels to and fro different matches. Traveling guide gives the rules and regulations that must be met before the team commences its journey. For instance, every instance involving raveling must be planned for early enough (Sproule, 2015). The coach and players plan for it. every member is expected to observe the traveling guides and respond appropriately. Time consciousness and cost effectiveness is fast considered. For better performance, our guide recommends that team players travel 24 hours before the game.

Training Programs
Technical, tactical, physical & psychological skills
Beginners- Establish self-worth and passion
Younger players-Technical proficiency
This is followed by tactical flexibility
Mature players-Physical strength & endurance
Program aims at:
longer-term development of well-rounded players
Player attain maximum potential
Every team’s training program must be SMART. In our team, the program aims at establishing all rounded players that are capable of meeting the challenges in the field. Four fundamental skills are emphasized here. These are tactical, technical, physical and psychological. These skills are learnt progressively and encourage development of long term winning team (Todd, 2011).

Sample Practice Plan
Here is a sample practice program that runs for 4 week. Every day, players must perform specific activities that build up their muscular strength, endurance, flexibility and speed.

Motivational Messages

I do not micromanage teams or games
Every player is important irrespective of age
Every player should be respected &listened to
Availability and hard work shapes player skills
Parents & community members form a team
A coach transforms a team
It is important to note that players are human beings and basic motivational messages uplift their morale and performance. giving the coach's philosophy, individual expectations and team abilities encourages players to live to the standard.
13
Game Expectations
Players are expected to develop and grow
Long-term development-attain full potential
Wining or losing with dignity
Respectable means justify the results
Develop self determination and identity
Grow team and community image
Responsibility in the community
In games, many coaches have different expectations. For this case, it is the desire of every team members that every one grows and develops to the full potentials. We expect wins but even when lost, it should be with dignity, because means justify the results (Sproule, 2015).

Offensive and Defensive Philosophies
OFFENCE
Play exciting and enjoyable brand
Play up tempo style that fatigues opponent
Emphasize assertiveness, attacking team
Score in first half
Utilize close and distant chances
Make memorable shots from free throw line
Our offensive philosophy is that we play exciting and enjoyable game. We should use the best strategies that will make our opponents fatigued. This way, we will get a chance to maneuvers and make a win. Therefore assertiveness, resilience, teamwork and attacking spirit is important. Always, we aim at making scores as soon as possible (Sproule, 2015).
15
Offensive and Defensive Philosophies cont…
DEFENSE
Create unfathomable pressure for opponent
Pile pressure that makes opponent blunder often
Aim is control the game by:
Applying full court an half court defense
Use switching tactic to confuse the opponent
Penetrate and defend opponents shots
Minimize “silly” fouls and challenge all shots
Defense philosophy, we aim at piling substantial amount of pressure on the opponent until we gain control of the game. After that we should maintain half court game and attack every shots with tactics that make opponents foul and blinder often (Sproule, 2015).
