Hoopster Philosophy



The HOOPSTERS are a 5th-12th grade Boys & Girls Basketball Club Team (s) that will involve the Vitamin E's while competing in practice & games.    (March-June 2008)

We believe in a relationship with Jesus Christ & GOD the Father. We give respect, honor, & praise to GOD through Christ regularly.

The teams will consist of boys & girls who are students in the Lompoc Unified School District and the Lompoc Community. They will have to meet certain requirements (Established by J-SMOOV Sr. level Staff) throughout the duration of the season in order to be and stay eligible and participate.

We think it is very important for young people to take the abilities/skills and tools learned from their family and community, then use them in a diverse arena with others.

Our focus is on the Vitamin E's of the individual & community. We think athletics are a good vehicle to facilitate Enhancement, Education, Enrichment, & Entertainment for the youth (Past, Present, & Future). We believe that athletics can provide much more than just a physical involvement and reward. Athletics provide the arena for the training of life skills & tools needed to be positive and successful individuals in our society.

Basketball is our chosen athletic vehicle to carry this focus. We believe they can learn, use, and share these things in this arena while having some fun. This is an opportunity for us to work in conjunction with the family, school, and community helping to maintain or create a good environment for them to function in.

Basketball has helped to create some great men & women of the past & present.

We feel it can help to create some great men & women (Current Hoopsters) of the future.
