2008-2009 Season Information Important dates for this season:
CYS Philosophy and the Positive Coaching Alliance Our basketball program is an affiliate member of the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) at Stanford University. CYS joins in the effort to promote a positive youth sports environment that encourages the development of positive attitude and character as well as athletic skills. A Positive Coach is a "Double-Goal Coach" who wants to win but has a second goal: to help players develop positive character traits, so they can be successful in life. Winning is important, but the second goal, helping players learn "life lessons," is more important. A positive coach puts players first. Our basketball program promotes the PCA theme "Honor the Game" which means that we value and show respect for: Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates, and Tradition of the game.
