about Columbia Supreme
We pride our program in it's investments into each players life and long term success both on and off the court. We believe that often time coaches and programs are focused on playing games and winning but we believe either you want to teach kids how to play basketball or you just want to win games. We want to teach kids how to play with skill and principle!
Philosophy & Style of Play
Finding a youth basketball program that does what's best for your child can be difficult. Youth basketball has become extremely competitive which has caused most programs to prioritize winning right now over everything else. While winning is important, it unfortunately creates an environment where coaches use tactics to win games instead of focusing on long term growth and teaching the principles, concepts and skills players need to be successful at the high school and college level. We emphasize developing fundamentals, players understanding of the game, ensuring players are challenged at their level of competition and players are held accountable by knowledgeable coaches.
Why Join Columbia Supreme?
We are a one of kind program in Columbia, MO and we look at the whole child not just single aspects or skills.
Basketball Teams
Who's coaching your player and are they qualified? Does your current team spend the majority of their practice time rehearsing plays rather than teaching how to read and react to the defense? Who's overseeing your child's team and holding the coach accountable? Most importantly, is your player's basketball experience focused on their long-term development?
