COACHING/ PROGRAM DIRECTOR The Cagers Basketball Academy is under the direction of program founder Greg Edwards. Coach Edwards comes from an excellent coaching background and sees his role first and foremost as a teacher of the game. “I believe you teach in practice each day and you ‘coach’ in games. If you do a great job teaching, your players and teams will play as close to their potential as is physically possible under game conditions.”  ...  (read more) BASKETBALL ACADEMY PHILOSOPHY & GOALS             This academy was created to provide competitive basketball programs for players in grades 3 – 12, who have a love for the game and the desire to continue to work to become the best that they can be in the game.             Each separate basketball program offered fulfills a need in the development of each individual player, based on age, skill level and physical ability.             Teaching proper fundamental technique in regard to each skill; whether offensive or defensive and helping each player to understand the tremendous benefit and importance in being grounded first in the fundamentals of the game is a primary goal of Cagers Basketball Academy.             A second primary goal of the program is to help each individual player develop a sense of commitment, work ethic, and to gain an understanding of just how much time and effort one must put in to become the best that they can be in the game. A player’s goal should not be to become the next Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant or Lebron James, it should be to become the best individual and team player that you can become, within the limits of your physical abilities. However to reach this goal you may have to spend an equal amount of time and effort as any of the aforementioned pros did when they were growing up, and learning the game.             This basketball program is definitely here to serve the kids. For them to enjoy the game, learn how to play the right way and continue to improve, so as to reach their full potential. The question is “what are the players prepared to do?” Made with Xara Cagers Basketball Academy At BRAVE LEGION Fitness & Sports Gym Address: 14010 NE 3rd Ct., Vancouver, WA 98685 BRAVE LEGION Phone : 360-574-2400 Cagers Basketball Academy Phone : 503-735-5552 2011-2012 Cagers Basketball Academy
