Youth Sports Philosophy - 

• Fun positive learning environment
  • Kids learn to have FUN in the development process & their results.
  • Kids are motivated by their own improvement
  • Fun does NOT mean kids goofing off within an undisciplined practice.
  • Winning is not the focus, but becomes the by-product of the development that has already occurred.

Josh believes strongly in setting expectations and measuring results.  We own both our successes and failures and adjust based on the outcomes of choices made.
