Why Triple Double? The Big Three.
When a player earns a triple double in a game, they have had an outstanding impact on three parts of the game. The Triple Double basketball club aims to have an outstanding impact on the following three aspects of each player's life.
BASKETBALL
Triple Double is first and foremost a basketball club. Our goal is to provide the best basketball instruction by identifying and developing outstanding coaches. Our coaches understand that youth basketball is about skill development and maximizing the potential of each team member. Wins and losses are secondary to player development.
Triple Double emphasizes a healthy balance of practice time versus game experience. A typical travel basketball team has more games than practice each week. TD emphasizes skill development. Our teams practice twice per week and play in tournaments every 2-3 weeks. Thus teams have a minimum of 4 practices and then play 3-4 games in a weekend tournament. Coaches then evaluate the team and players and have practice time to make improvements and adjustments. By not competing in back to back weekend tournaments we also provide family balance and avoid family and player burnout.
VIRTUE
Our program builds young people of virtue not just great basketball players. Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. A morally excellent person has a character made-up of virtues valued as good. Because of these virtues or positive character traits, he or she is committed to doing the right thing no matter what the personal cost, and does not bend to impulses, urges or desires, but acts according to values and principles.
Coaches can have powerful impact on the development of virtue in each team member. We use the Sportsleader program which includes weekly virtue education, player mentoring and special ceremonies. Our coaches are committed to each player growing in virtue on and off the court.
CHRIST
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?
Matthew 16:26
Triple Double is a Christian organization. Our club aims to bring athletes and their and families closer to Jesus Christ. Team prayer before and after practice/games is a constant.
