Bigger Than Basketball | Phrases like “It’s Bigger Than Basketball” have become cliché, but remains the primary reality of why TRI CITY VIPER exist. The life lessons learned, the coach/player relationships that are formed, the life-long friendships that are created and the exposure to the TRI CITY VIPERS professional network and resources are a few examples of why TRI CITY VIPERS is Bigger Than Basketball. | |
Development is Greater than Winning | Although TRI CITY VIPERS will ALWAYS strive to be a competitive organization on the court, the OVERALL development of the kids that we serve remains a priority. Starting with our Developmental Program, carried on throughout our Skills & Drills & Small Group Workouts and emphasized across our Travel Teams. Winning is fun, but development is more important. | |
Be Greater Late | Serving student-athletes can be a blessing and a curse, as the pressure to be great and excel in sports are placed on kids at younger and younger ages. Most kids grow and develop at different rates, therefore a good 4th or 5th grader doesn’t always equal a good 9th or 10th grader. Being good early is nice, but being greater later is better. | |
