BE A GOOD TEAMMATE
There is no individual success without first achieving team success. Be a good teammate. Encourage and support your teammates on and off the court. When you want to see your teammates succeed as much as you want to succeed yourself, that is when we reach our potential.
COMPETE & COMMUNICATE
When you are in the gym, compete! Compete as hard as you can not only for yourself, but to help your teammates. We are all striving to reach a common goal. Keep the communication fluid. Communicate while on the court about defense and offense, but also communicate after practices and build relationships. When you enter a gym, say hi to everyone!
REWARD INTANGIBLES
Nothing helps a team win more than intangibles in basketball. Reward intangibles verbally. When a teammate makes a great extra pass, tell them. When a teammate sets a good screen that creates a good shot, tell them. When a teammate gets on the floor to get a loose ball, show appreciation. Whether it is in a game or in practice, always verbally reward intangibles.
​
IMPROVE
As players and coaches, we are always trying to improve and move forward. Make improvement a priority. Try to improve every tournament, every game, every practice every play and every drill. Our goal is to become the best version of ourselves that we can be. When we make improving a priority, we will become successful.

BCRI prohibits players from playing with different programs during the BCRI season. It is not equitable to the team when athletes divide their focus across multiple teams. Players are dedicating significant time and effort to build cohesion and develop alongside their specific group. By participating on more than one team, their commitment is spread thin, preventing them from fully contributing their best to their teammates. Our program, along with the coaching staff, invests substantial time in player development and creating a platform for each athlete to grow on and off the court. We encourage athletes to work hard and compete for their playing time, and splitting their efforts across multiple teams diminishes their ability to fully invest in themselves and the success of BCRI.
