Varsity Girls Basketball
Team Overview
Our philosophy is simple: make each woman a better athlete while making each athlete a better woman. Our primary purpose is to build a program that is one of desire, respect, discipline, and longevity rather than just focusing on a specific season’s win/loss record. We aim to create a strong tradition of girls’ basketball at Covenant Day.
Intangible characteristics play an important role in building the girls' basketball program, alongside knowledge, fundamentals of the game, and pre/off-season training. The program will highlight the following areas: the power of success, team core values, and building a winning culture.
