Bo Knows

"To me, no coach in America asks a man to make any sacrifice; rather, we do the opposite. We ask men to live clean, come clean, think clean; and to stop doing the things that would destroy him physically, morally, and mentally."

Welcome Back To The NRP Hoops Blog!

The Basketball Knights have been hard at work this summer honing their skills for what they expect will be another successful season.  

Besides playing against top-notch Chicago-area competition in a local summer league, the Knights traveled to shoot-outs at Purdue University and the University of Evansville to compete against the best programs in the Hoosier state and 
in southern Illinois.

An oft-heard motto at NRP is: 
"Northridge Basketball is not about the scoreboard; it's about growing up!"

This axiom never rings truer than it does during the"Summer Season" when our time together is focused on skill refinement, challenging ourselves against outstanding opponents, and gaining the experience necessary to build a cohesive team that performs at its best when it counts the most -- during the regular season.

Once again this summer, the Knights utilized their 25 contact days to work together as a team as well as to engage in individual skill workout sessions with their coaches.

Throughout the coming weeks, we will post Knights Basketball updates along with useful information to help you continue preparing for the upcoming school year and basketball season.

Welcome Back, Knights!!
