Philosophy

The overriding philosophy of the Golden Hills School athletic program is to offer the students an exploratory sports program involving as many students as possible.  All participants are encouraged to do their best within the spirit and rules of the games and practices.  Good sportsmanship, playing for fun, team work, and respect for oneself and others will be emphasized throughout each sport. Play with heart.  Win with class.  Lose with dignity.

Little Dribblers 

Little Dribblers, like golf, focuses on developing basketball fundamentals.  Practices take place here at GHS in the gym. This is open to kindergarten to 3rd graders.  I need a few parents to conduct this program.  I will have a few 8th grade students to help as well.
