Our Values
01
Setting a Standard of Excellence
that produces Influence:
We believe that true influence, leadership, and authority are born from a commitment to excellence. How you do anything is how you do everything and as much as your talent can open the door of influence, it is your character and values that will establish that influence. This is why we use Biblical values to train our team in all aspects of life. Training them to be excellent in everything, both how they play the game, along with the character and values they uphold in the midst of it, regardless of whether they win or lose. In doing this they become extremely influential to the teams we play and those that come to watch. Many have expressed their encouragement when they witness a team that combines competitiveness, unity, love, and sportsmanship, all within the same game. Helping the kids see that leadership and influence extends far beyond winning games. Especially in the realm of youth sports, where some team cultures prioritize performance above all else and others lack the passion to foster development and growth, our teams stand out as beacons of hope.
03
Cutting-Edge Athletic Training:
Our training approach embraces the latest advancements in training techniques tailored for young athletes. While many young athletes are often developed in ways that yield immediate success, these methods can inadvertently hinder their potential for greatness when it matters most, as they progress toward college and professional levels. Our philosophy strikes a balance between current excellence and long-term success. We are committed to cultivating not only present achievements but also future triumphs, both mentally and physically. Our holistic development strategy equips these young athletes for enduring success, ensuring they are prepared to reach their fullest potential when it truly counts in their journeys.
02
Creating an Atmosphere of Success:
In order to develop a standard of excellence while maintaining a humble and growth mindset that’s free of the fear of failure, we believe that we must maintain a safe atmosphere to fail and grow. “We do NOT demand perfection but we do demand excellence and growth”. This is why we are not like most teams and coaches that just look for talent that they can utilize to benefit their own aspirations. Instead we look for potential in youth athletes that we can invest in, train, and help unleash their greatness both on and off the field. We believe that failure is an opportunity to show them that our belief in their potential and love for them as individuals goes far beyond their current performance.
04
Transforming the future by redefining success
in youth sports:
We believe that the values and character of those who invest into a child’s life have massive influence over their future. The collective impact of a group of fathers and mothers working together to invest in these kids is transformative beyond measure. Unfortunately in our world, most kids are being trained by many negative or immature influences. We strive to be one of the most positive influences in these kids’ most crucial years of development. And we believe that “it takes all of us”. This call to action extends beyond our coaches and leaders, but for everyone involved to step up and pour into our young athletes’ lives. We recognize that each of us possesses something unique to offer these children, and we extend this invitation to every parent, family member, and friend of our team. Unity and community provides the context to bring out the best in everyone. Therefore our primary goal is not solely the winning of championships but rather the unity and holistic development of values and character within these young individuals and their families.
05
Committed to The Future:
We are not making decisions for the short term. Instead we are committed to these kids and families’ future. Our training regimen is geared towards equipping our athletes with a specific focus on securing valuable scholarships. Once an athlete is ready, we help them pursue opportunities to support their future. We strive to instill a broader vision—one that uses their talents and aspirations to forge a path towards professional opportunities. Recognizing that many families lack the financial means to facilitate higher education or skill development, the Panthers Development team is dedicated to helping these young athletes build a bright future.
