YOUTH TEAMS
Picture
The Michigan Premier youth program is designed specifically to empower young women by developing strength of character, leadership skills, strong work ethic, and self-confidence through the love of basketball and athletic excellence. Our priority is to optimize individual player and overall team performance through hands on leadership focusing on individual fundamental skill training/development, game situations, and team dynamics/unity. We aim to coach participants to compete to their highest level of ability. Caches mentor athletes while instilling life skills such as team work, leadership, self-discipline, responsibility, work ethic, and sportsmanship. These life lessons will equip them to be highly successful adults and the leaders of tomorrow.
