Culture of Aloha Hoops

As with any successful company or sports team, people will quickly discover a specific

cultures that permeates throughout itself. As a basketball coaching staff at Aloha High School, we

desire for every student-athlete on our teams to know what our culture is and how it drives our

daily decisions and attitudes. Our culture defines us and makes us who we are. Our culture is our

foundation and we refer to it as “we do it our way, “meaning we are focused solely on what Aloha

Basketball emphasizes. We, Aloha Basketball, are attending every class, listening and being

respectful to all, being honest to all, being a servant leader in our community, speaking to

individuals clearly and directly and always looking people in the eyes. On the basketball court,

Aloha Basketball is a tough and intelligent program who walls up on defense, blocks out on the

rebounds, protects and chins the basketball, sprints through our offensive and defensive cuts, takes

high percentage shots, rotates to the extra man, and always protects our brother next to us. The

question the Aloha Boys Basketball program must answer every day is, Are we doing all of the

little things necessary to make Aloha Boys Basketball better each day on the court and in the

community? We will ignore what the other teams says and does, we will do what we do best and

be successful.

Vision of Aloha Hoops

The coaching staff of Aloha Basketball envision a culture where student-athletes are proud

of Aloha High School and have consistently positive personal, social, academic and civic values

which foster academic and athletic success. We will create lasting beliefs and values for our

student-athletes which they can utilize throughout their lives and careers.


Core Values of Aloha Hoops

The Aloha Boys Basketball program believe the promotion, integration and enhancement

of student-learning and personal development includes the development of intellectual, emotional,

social, physical and ethical capacities of the entire student-athlete.

The Aloha Boys Basketball program will emphasize the five core values in each team

practice, event, and game. These core values are instrumental for lifelong success and helping our

student-athletes become the servant leaders our community requires moving into the years to

come. We believe our message is greater than the game of basketball. We must prepare our student-

athletes for the world outside of education and basketball, the real world. Anything that can be

done to improve the character and overall well-being of our student-athletes will increase our

chances for success on the court, in the classroom, and in the community. The Aloha Boys

Basketball’s core values are:
