developing minds and athletes
Team Prime is an organization that focuses on developing the mind and skills of young athletes. Our number one priority is to help athletes improve their physical and mental abilities in order to reach their full potential on and off the court. Our mission is to mold the youth into model citizens, so that they may not only become leaders in the realm of basketball, but also in the real world. Team Prime develops the all around-athlete.
"Burden is what we carry, weight is what we lift and let down"
We are Optimistic, the glass is half full.
We are an organized legion that's equipped to fight life's battle.
We are losing our youth way too easily. Every time we are in the gym together, it isanother moment we have for life, another minute to live, and another minute with our team family. Our fight isn't against life itself, our fight is against these streets that take our lives.
Team Prime players are being prepped for life. We are expanding the options and life choices for our kids! Developing minds and athletes. That's "PRIME PRIDE"

1. ACADEMICS WILL BE FIRST!!
Your grades and class work come before basketball. Do your homework when you should. Directly after school is best. Failing
grades will result in player ineligibility. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL “THE DAY BEFORE” TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR STUDYING.

BE ON TIME FOR ALL AND PRESENT FOR ALL PRACTICES. Be properly dressed with basketball shorts and shoes, no jewelry, phones, hair ware, etc. We are aware that there may be circumstances that arise that cause you to miss a practice; e.g. vacation, illness, etc. When this occurs, the player or parent/guardian will inform their coach in advance when possible by sending an email to: TeamPrimeSports@gmail.com BEING GROUNDED BY YOUR PARENTS WILL BE TREATED AS AN UNEXCUSED ABSENCE. "is type of
absence will result in the player losing playing time and/or being dismissed from the team.
3. ATTITUDE.
Our goal is to build a team of players that consistently demand more of themselves, than is demanded by the coaches. Be
coachable, hustle, display mental toughness, and be focused on the game. WE WILL WORK HARDER AND SMARTER THAN ANY OTHER TEAM. We will strive to develop good habits by practicing with good form and appropriate efforts. "these efforts will determine our
success during competitive play. RESPECT COACHES, TEAMMATES, OPPONENTS, PARENTS, MANAGERS AND REFEREES. Behavior that reflects negativity on players, coaches and referees will not be tolerated, e.g. lack of control or profanity. RESPECT CLASSROOM TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS. Lack of respect and discipline issues resulting in school consequences will result in game or team suspensions.
4. AS A TEAM MEMBER, I WILL GO TO THE COACHES/ TEAM MEMBER FIRST IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WHICH IS
RELATED TO THE TEAM. I will not complain to others, until I have given the person I have a problem with an opportunity to correct it;
e.g., a team player or coach. ADJUSTMENTS AND SACRIFICES are necessary to achieve team
and individual success. EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT on the part of players, their families, and the coaches is important. In
return, we have an opportunity to create a positive experience that will affect our lives forever.
