CHS Basketball Postseason Plan Outline
As a reminder, here is the CHS Basketball Program Handbook. Based on my
assessment of our first season together, I plan to make tweaks in the coming months.
Note:
To ensure the success of our student-athletes during the off-season, we are
establishing partnerships with local AAU coaches and personal trainers. These
collaborations aim to provide specialized training, exposure, and mentorship to our
players. The integration of these external resources into our comprehensive off-season
plan will contribute to the achievement of individual goals, fostering a culture of
continuous improvement that will be evident at the start of the 2024-2025 basketball
season. If you would like me to reach out to your son’s AAU Coach or Personal Trainer,
please let me know and I will be happy to do so.
The plan below is a general outline of what I hope to accomplish through our program
during the off season. Reminder, I am new to North Carolina and will have the CHCCS
District Athletic Director and CHS Athletic Director review and approve my plan to
ensure it is in accordance with NCHSAA and NCAA guidelines.
