Our primary mission is to teach young, future Jaguar student-athletes the fundamentals needed to be successful in the game of basketball. The secondary mission is to instill a life-long love of this wonderful game. There will be an emphasis on development and having fun.

Please make sure you understand that winning youth basketball games will not be the driving force of the program. There will be a heavy emphasis on basic fundamentals, individual skill development,and team play. As players advance through the program, advanced individual skills and team concepts will be added.

The benefits of this program are immense. Your student-athletes will be coached by certified, trained basketball Coaches. Just like our high school program, our Coaches teach more than just basketball. A student-athlete spending multiple years participating in JYDP will learn life lessons in teamwork, the power of positivity, character, coachability, communication,confidence, discipline, leadership, responsibility, sportsmanship, and work ethic. Student-athletes will enter high school knowing the skill development drills and having already been a part of the winning culture that is Blue Valley West Boys Basketball.
