PDM Basketball

Our Mission

PDM Basketball provides in-depth and dedicated basketball training programs from professional and experienced coaches.  We put our players first and believe that the most important job of a coach isn’t just drilling skills but taking the time to teach players what it means, to be a true student of the game.

PDM VALUES

It’s not always about winning and losing but rather learning and growing so that when winning matters, the habits are in place to help you succeed.

Decision Making

Decision making is critical in creating successful outcomes in both basketball and in life. Being educated to make informed decisions and understanding what comes after those decisions is vital.

Confidence Through Competence

Overcoming challenges, repetition and developing good habits in practice builds lasting confidence and helps find what makes each of us stand out in the game.

Communication

Communication is a powerful life skill on and off the court. Using appropriate communication to problem solve in the game and in life will help conquer obstacles along our athletes’ journey.

Multifaceted Learning

Learning through a variety of methods helps our athletes become adaptable to different teaching approaches for the future. Learning from a variety of perspectives increases understanding and knowledge.

Positivity

Having a positive mindset and understanding failure is part of the journey to success despite setbacks is key to future success.
