Dublin Panthers 
Have developed a basketball program full of drills, and real strategy basketball plays to help them while on any team or just personal practice.  Please come out during our team's workouts days to play. 

• Trained: Taught particular skills or types of behavior through practice and instruction over a period of time. Basketball is a repetition sport.
• Technique: A skillful or efficient way of doing or achieving something. We rebound to play defense. We run to outdo the other team. We score to win games.
• Talents: Natural aptitude or skill. Every child is blessed with talent. That is God's gifts, so we can't teach that. But we can showcase every child's talents.

ONLY $25 per drop-in

Welcome to Dublin Panthers

We want this to be a great experience for your child (or children) and you.

Our mission statement is to teach PANTHERS boys and girls basketball in a fun and competitive atmosphere that encourages skill development, sportsmanship, camaraderie and learning how to win and lose with class.  We are currently working on a Youth Development Model where the focus is not just basketball skills, but also mentoring, tutoring, and assisting with keeping their grades up.

Below is a little more detail to let you know what is expected of your youth athlete and what you can expect of the coaches. We would like to work with your children who are 3rd grades through 6th grades for both boys and girls.

Our Goals for the Kids:

• Seed a passion for basketball in all of our players. Hopefully, this will be the start of a lifetime of playing the game of basketball.
• Compete, learn something about themselves and grow as athletes and people.
• Learn basketball skills and fundamentals.
• Have fun!

Expectations we have of the Coaches:

• 100% commitment and respect for your kids as individuals and for the team.
• Positive attitudes and constant encouragement.
• An appropriate level of challenging the kids to work hard, which will result in positive results on the court. There is a delicate balance between pushing too hard and not pushing hard enough at the young ages. If you think we're pushing too much, or not enough,  just let us know.
• Structured practices with an appropriate mix of repetition to breed basketball instinct and new drills/routines to avoid boredom and learn new aspects of the game.

Expectations we have of the kids:

• Great attitudes! This is CRITICAL in basketball because it is a game of surges and momentum. If we get discouraged every time a team scores several points in a row on us, we will be defeated. We want the kids to stay calm, dig in and work through it. Similarly, when we make a  run on other teams, we want the kids not to be complacent but continue to work hard. If one kid gets down, it can quickly bring everyone down.
• Work as a TEAM: Basketball is fun when you work as a team. That means EVERYONE plays unselfishly, plays tough defense, hustles, dives and gets rebounds, hustles back on defense, etc...
• Attend practices and be on time for games (30 minutes before a game for warm-ups). 
• Listen and Learn: We hope and expect all kids that want to play, hustle and have fun. Everyone needs to understand their part and execute. They are accountable to each other and to the coaches. In order to succeed, EVERYONE must listen, learn and execute.
• Show great sportsmanship ... Win or Lose.
