Midtown Lady Monarchs

The Minnesota Lady Monarchs Basketball program will seek provide a positive experience to each athlete. It is based on hard work, teamwork, discipline, dedication, and selflessness. Coaching staff, student athletes, and parents are expected to demonstrate honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship in keeping with the AAU Girls Basketball, Minnesota AAU and MYAS.

The Lady Monarchs Basketball program is intended to be a positive experience for all players who participate. Our philosophy is based on providing a high quality, competitive, hard working, and character driven program. Our goal is to develop teams that are competitive and that exemplify the qualities that are present in the mission statement. The “team” is foremost over the individual and each player will be responsible to exhibit this quality in practice, at home, and in games.

It can be a challenging and time-consuming responsibility being a Girls’ Basketball parent. As coaches, we want what is best for our student athletes and our teams and ultimately we want your daughter to have a positive experience. We will work hard to help her succeed. Playing time and her role on the team will be based on effort, skill, team play, practice habits, attitude, and performance. Playing time is not a guarantee to any player. Some players will not get as much playing time as others girls and in some games a team member may not play at all. We believe that there are many rewards that come from being part of a team. They include the improvement that comes from every day effort, the friendships made, and the lessons learned. Success is earned through commitment and team play.

Every girl will have a role on the team that will be specifically spelled out to her. No role is less important than another. The success of our team as a whole, and the success of your daughter as an individual, will be based on how well each player performs their specific role
