Positive Behavior Supports (PBS)
PBS is an evidence-based framework that improves quality of life and reduces challenging behaviors by creating supportive environments. It focuses on positive relationship-building, setting clear expectations, and reinforcing positive actions.
Key Elements:
- Building Relationships: Foster trust and care by being open and valuing individuals as people, not just players.
- Setting Expectations: Define clear, predictable expectations to guide behavior.
- Reinforcement: Use praise, rewards, and encouragement to recognize and support positive behavior.
Goal: Help youth and players reach their full potential in a positive, structured environment.
Trauma-Informed Coaches and Parents
Trauma-informed coaches and parents play a vital role in supporting young athletes by understanding and addressing the effects of trauma. This approach allows them to respond with empathy, providing a supportive environment that fosters emotional well-being and resilience.
Importance:
Addressing Behavioral Issues: Trauma-informed coaching helps address behavioral challenges in a constructive, non-punitive way, creating a positive space for growth.

Community Engagement: Beyond Basketball
Coaches and parents are encouraged to explore the organization’s broader impact on the community, considering aspects like fundraising ethics. Reflecting on activities that truly educate players can shape positive lessons, such as the messages conveyed by how funds are raised. For example, rather than roadside solicitations, engaging in meaningful projects can promote valuable skills.
