Five Pillars

Dedication
Dedication to your craft is what separates average basketball players from elite basketball players. When you are dedicated, there are no limits to which you will go to ensure you are putting the proper work in. This pillar is expected from all players. You are not just in it for yourself, but for your team, the organization and those who are pushing toward greatness.

Discipline
Whether it is on the basketball court or off the basketball court, the expectation is that every ball player remain discipline and respectable. For us to function as a unite, every piece must align. This pillar goes throughout the organization. We will practice this principle from the organization’s head to every parent involved and most importantly every player.

Commitment
As an organization we are committed to making every player better. We will work to ensure as an organization we are giving our all to our players and parents. It is important that our players and parents are giving their all to the organization and coaches. We are one family which we are committed to ensuring everyone has a great experience partnering with Pels Elite Basketball.

Faith
We are not a religious based organization; however, we are faith based. Our principles align with that of Christ which everyone will be loved, respected, and handled with kindness.

Hard Work
This pillar is not optional. Every player will be expected to bring their all every practice and every game. Hard Work speaks to how we function as a team and organization. We are a firm believer that hard work isfollowed up with success. They come hand in hand. With hard work, we will focus on efficiency which in turn will help us achieve our goals.
