Our Philosophy

The Cagers are led by Steve Norberg and Dan Rho, who bring over 45 years of coaching experience. A few other coaches include assistant coaches Brad Doan (Varsity Assistant Coach Da Vinci High School) & Sam Tanner (Former Cager & PV High Basketball Player).

We approach the Cagers as a top level team with the focus on teaching and developing team concepts. This is accomplished through balanced and structured practices. Coaches implement a team first philosophy at every grade level. Individual success is based on team play and understanding of team concepts.

All players are held accountable to learn multiple spots, as well as be able to function at those spots. Everyone needs to be able to pass, shoot and dribble with the correct fundamentals. This allows Cager players to excel in any system that a coach may choose to use in high school.

Defensively, our program is built on teaching man to man defense. Coaches will have drills to build the foundation and play small sided games to instill the fundamentals.  We will at times play a variety of defense (ex: Pressing full court) but the majority of the time will be man to man.

Cagers practices are broken down into three categories. Skills session is designed to work on individual fundamentals such as proper shooting form and dribbling technique. Team concept practices concentrate on breaking down the offense and defensive strategies of the team game. The Scrimmage session puts all those parts together.

Our competitive teams always enter the best local tournaments and play against a wide range of teams. This helps the players prepare for High School competition in the best way possible.
