Coaching Philosophy

"To make sure that kids are enjoying the sport. Build on players strengths and introduce ways to help them improve. Be sure to coach by saying and acting appropriately as players will always feed off of your actions. Hold players accountable but only criticize with constructive criticism. Always remember that we are teaching not only the game but also life lessons. Most of all, have fun!"
