CYA Tigers Information

Welcome to the 2019-2020 travel basketball season at CYA!

My name is Josh Martin, along with Joey Adams and Greg Luongo, will coach your son this year. We are looking forward to a great season, and want every boy on the team to be excited to play again next year. Throughout the season, we will focus on several concepts, but it all starts with three main ideas:

Sportsmanship

Our players, coaches, and parents will always show good sportsmanship - win or lose.
We will all have positive attitudes and show respect to each other, the referees, and other teams.

Effort

Effort counts more than outcome.
We will practice and play with energy and focus on improving throughout the season.

Defense

We always want to be the best defensive team on the court.
Some games, shots may not fall, but we can always play great defense.

The following pages have more information, pictures, and videos showing our different sets and plays. Please have your son take a look at them regularly to make sure they understand each of them. The boys are likely to change positions throughout the season, so please make sure they understand each spot (1 through 5).

For scheduling, our team uses Team Connect for all practices, games, and other events. Please keep your son's availability up-to-date to make planning easier for the coaches. If you ever have any questions or need to reach me, my email and mobile is in Team Connect.

Thank you for having your son be part of the team, and Go, Tigers!

P.S. We keep a Quick Sheet with a summary of the plays with us at practice and the games. It provides a quick review of all of the formations above and is a good quick reference.
