Club Information

Organization and Objectives Centered in Northern Virginia, the No Limits Basketball Club is a private organization dedicated to the promotion and improvement of girls and boys basketball. The club's objective is to help young players advance their basketball skills while fostering sportsmanship, self sacrifice, determination, dedication and acceptance of responsibility.

Program and Activities To meet our objective, NO LIMITS will sponsor year round program of instruction. Fundamental clinics provide developing players basketball skills.

Coaching Philosophy The NO LIMITS coaching staff adheres to a positive, constructive instruction style. Our coaching philosophy is to encourage not discourage; motivate not intimidate. Our staff offers a variety of backgrounds, experiences and approaches to Basketball; we do not espouse a single strategic approach to the game. Whereas, promoting a single approach throughout the club could have some competitive advantages, we believe that the diversity of our coaching approaches broadens the development of our players. Player development remains our primary objective. However; individual development must occur within the context of team competition. Therefore, the NO LIMITS basketball club does not adhere to a minimum or guaranteed amount of playing time for any player in a game. Player participation is at the coaches' discretion.

Parent Involvement The NO LIMITS Basketball Club values the support of parents. However, parents must defer all team and basketball decisions to the coaching staff. Mutual trust and respect between coaches and parents enables players to realize a positive team experience.

Player Commitment and Behavior Membership in the NO LIMITS Basketball Club is reserved for those with the necessary basketball commitment and coachable attitude to succeed in a competitive atmosphere. Players are expected to behave properly both on and off the court. Absences from games, practices or other team activities should be pre arranged with coaches. Absenteeism may impact player development and game participation. All players will adhere to the following general rules. Anyone who repeatedly violates these rules may be suspended or dismissed from the club, without appeal.
