Program Mission: The intent of the Junior Bearcat program is to develop a passion for competing in all areas of the game of basketball and volleyball, while learning the individual and team fundamental skills necessary to be successful at the high school level.

Program Purpose: The Junior Bearcat program is designed to be a feeder program for the Scottsbluff High School basketball and volleyball programs. To have a successful high school program, a consistent, fundamental youth program is essential. 

Program Development: In order for players and a program to be successful, the fundamentals must be learned correctly in the beginning stages. As a feeder program, the goal is to develop a strong high school program. Terminology and drills used at the high school level can start to be introduced during Junior Bearcat. Our program believes in fundamental mastery, a competitive spirit, and how to be a great teammate.  

Player Outcomes: At all levels, 3rd grade through 8th grade, our hope is that our students grow as individuals and competitors.

We will pursue the following player outcomes:

The development of meaningful relationships.

Students’ ability to follow instructions and have high expectations for themselves.

Students’ ability to be accountable for their actions.

Students’ ability to be a great teammate.

Students’ ability to positively contribute and represent their community.
